It often implies a strong emotional bond or desire, whether between individuals or between God and His people. The term can denote both human and divine love, emphasizing a committed and intentional choice to love or be attached to someone or something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, love was not merely an emotion but an action and commitment. "Chashaq" reflects this understanding, where love involves a deliberate choice and dedication. This concept is evident in covenant relationships, such as marriage or the covenant between God and Israel, where love is expressed through loyalty and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">חָשַׁק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be attached to, love</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>press together, desire</em> (rare); Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">חֲשַׁק</font> <em>bind</em>, <em>saddle</em> (an ass)) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/7-7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:7</a> 4t.; <font class="hebrew2">חָֽשְׁקָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/34-8.htm">Genesis 34:8</a>; <font class="hebrew2">חָשַׁקְתָּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/38-17.htm">Isaiah 38:17</a> (but see below); <font class="hebrew2">וְחָֽשַׁקְתָּ֫</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/21-11.htm">Deuteronomy 21:11</a>; — <em>be attached to</em>, only figurative = <em>love</em>, a woman followed by <font class="hebrew2">בְּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/34-8.htm">Genesis 34:8</a> (P) <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/21-11.htm">Deuteronomy 21:11</a>; elsewhere of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>s; love for Israel <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/7-7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/10-15.htm">Deuteronomy 10:15</a>, and of love to <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/91-14.htm">Psalm 91:14</a>; followed by accusative of congnate meaning with verb+ <font class="hebrew2">לְ</font> and infinitive <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כלחֵֿשֶׁק שְׁלֹמה אשׁר ח</font> <font class="hebrew2">לִבְנוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/9-19.htm">1 Kings 9:19</a> 2Chronicles 8:6; <font class="hebrew2">חָשַׁקְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִשַּׁחַת</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/38-17.htm">Isaiah 38:17</a> literally <em>thou hast loved my soul out of the pit</em>, i.e. lovingly delivered it; but read <font class="hebrew2">חָשַׂכְתָּ</font> <em>thou hast held back, kept</em>, from <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ9</font> Lo Ew Che Di, or <font class="hebrew2">חֲשׂךְ</font> <em>hold back</em> (Imperative), so Du. <p> II.
