Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τριχινός, related concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe hair or hair-like qualities. Some of these include:
שֵׂעָר (se'ar) • Hair, often used in contexts describing physical appearance or metaphorical descriptions.
שָׂעִיר (sa'ir) • Hairy, used to describe individuals or animals with a lot of hair, and sometimes used metaphorically to describe rough or rugged terrain.

These Hebrew terms, like τριχινός, emphasize the texture and appearance of hair, contributing to the rich tapestry of imagery found throughout the biblical text.

Usage: The term τριχινός is used in the context of describing something that is related to or resembles hair. It is an adjective that characterizes the texture or appearance of an object as being like hair.

Context: The Greek word τριχινός appears in the New Testament to describe objects or materials that have a hair-like quality. This term is used to convey the texture, appearance, or composition of an item, emphasizing its similarity to hair. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, hair was often associated with strength, beauty, and even consecration, as seen in the Nazirite vow (cf. Numbers 6:5). The use of τριχινός in the New Testament may evoke these associations, depending on the context in which it appears.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the word τριχινός is used to describe the texture of certain materials or objects, highlighting their fine, fibrous nature. This description can be found in passages where the physical characteristics of items are being detailed, often to draw a parallel with spiritual truths or to provide a vivid image for the reader.

The use of τριχινός in the New Testament is limited, but its presence underscores the importance of descriptive language in conveying the richness and depth of biblical narratives. By employing such specific adjectives, the biblical authors were able to paint a more vivid picture of the scenes and objects they described, enhancing the reader's understanding and engagement with the text.
