Part of Speech:Noun Masculine
Transliteration:chamman
Pronunciation:kham-mawn'

Word Origin:Derived from the root חָמַם (chamam), meaning "to be hot" or "to warm."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "chamman," as it is a specific Hebrew cultural and religious term. However, Greek terms related to idolatry, such as εἴδωλον (eidolon, Strong's G1497), may be conceptually related.

Usage:The term "chamman" refers to a type of idol or pillar associated with the worship of the sun. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is often used to describe pagan religious practices that were condemned by the Israelite prophets and leaders. These sun-pillars were likely erected as part of the Canaanite religious system and were considered abominations in the sight of Yahweh.

Cultural and Historical Background:In the ancient Near East, sun worship was a common practice among various cultures, including the Canaanites. The sun was often deified and associated with fertility, life, and power. The Israelites, upon entering the Promised Land, encountered these practices and were repeatedly warned against adopting them. The presence of sun-pillars or images was a direct violation of the first commandment, which prohibited the worship of other gods. The Israelites were instructed to destroy these symbols to maintain their covenantal purity and allegiance to Yahweh.
