It often carries a connotation of being man-made as opposed to divine or eternal. In the context of the New Testament, it is frequently used to contrast the temporary and earthly with the eternal and heavenly.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, many objects, including idols, temples, and various artifacts, were crafted by skilled artisans. The term "cheiropoiétos" would have been understood by contemporary audiences as referring to these tangible, human-made items. In Jewish and early Christian thought, there was a clear distinction between the works of human hands and the works of God, with the latter being superior and eternal.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5495.htm">cheir</a> and <a href="/greek/4160.htm">poieó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>made by hand<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>human hands (1), made by human hands (1), made with hands (4), performed (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5499: χειροποίητος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χειροποίητος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">χειροποίητον</span> (<span class="greek2">χείρ</span> and <span class="greek2">ποιέω</span>), <span class="accented">made by the hand i. e. the skill of man</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀχειροποίητος</span></span>): of temples, <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-58.htm">Mark 14:58</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/7-48.htm">Acts 7:48</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-24.htm">Acts 17:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11, 24</a>; of circumcision, <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/2-11.htm">Ephesians 2:11</a>.
