Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Chelkite," as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun related to Israelite genealogy and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The term "Chelkite" is used to denote a descendant or member of the family of Helek, a clan within the tribe of Asher. It appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament.

Context: The term "Chelkite" refers to a member of the family or clan of Helek, which is part of the tribe of Asher. The tribe of Asher was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The Chelkites are mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher, highlighting the importance of family lineage and tribal affiliation in ancient Israelite society. The genealogies served not only as records of ancestry but also as a means of establishing identity and inheritance rights within the community. The Chelkites, like other clans within the tribes of Israel, would have had specific roles and responsibilities within the tribal structure, contributing to the overall functioning and cohesion of the Israelite nation.
