It can imply a transformation or a substitution, reflecting the idea of something being altered or exchanged for something else.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of change or exchange was significant in various aspects of life, including trade, religious practices, and personal transformation. The idea of exchanging one thing for another was common in sacrificial systems, where offerings were made in place of personal atonement. The root concept of change also ties into the broader biblical theme of transformation, both physically and spiritually.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2498.htm">chalaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a knife<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>duplicates (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מַחֲלָף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>knife</b></font>, so <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> (compare Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb032205.gif"> <em>totondit</em> (in Lexicon), <img src="/bdbgif/bdb032206.gif">, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb032207.gif">, <em>knife</em>, Talmud <font class="hebrew2">חליפות</font> <em>knives</em>, according to Levy, Jastr;
