This term is used in the New Testament to describe affectionate greetings among believers (e.g., Romans 16:16).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "chibbuq" refers to an embrace or a physical act of holding someone closely. It conveys a sense of warmth, affection, and intimacy. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often symbolizes love, comfort, and familial or friendly bonds.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical gestures such as embracing were significant expressions of emotion and relationship. An embrace could signify reconciliation, affection, or the sealing of a covenant. The act of embracing was not only a personal gesture but also a communal one, reflecting the close-knit nature of family and community life in ancient Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2263.htm">chabaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a clasping, folding (of the hands)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>folding (2).<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">חִבֻּק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a clasping, folding of the hands</b></font>, only construct <font class="hebrew2">יָדַיִם לִשְׁכָּ֑כ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מְעַט ח</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/6-10.htm">Proverbs 6:10</a>;
