It appears in contexts such as Ephesians 2:14, where it describes the "dividing wall of hostility" that Christ has broken down, symbolizing the removal of barriers between Jews and Gentiles.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term חַיִץ, highlighting its significance in both physical and metaphorical contexts within the biblical narrative.

Usage: The term חַיִץ is used in the context of physical structures that serve as barriers or partitions. It is often used metaphorically to describe divisions or separations between people or groups.

Context: • The Hebrew word חַיִץ (chayits) appears in the context of physical and metaphorical separations. In the Old Testament, walls were significant for protection, demarcation, and separation. They were essential in ancient cities for defense against enemies and in homes for privacy and security.
• The concept of a wall is also used metaphorically in the Bible to describe divisions between people, such as social or spiritual barriers. For example, in Ezekiel 13:10-15, false prophets are condemned for building a "flimsy wall" that symbolizes false security and division from God's truth.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey both literal and figurative meanings, emphasizing the importance of understanding the context in which it appears.
