Chebel
(חֶבֶל, che´bel; usually rendered in the older versions σχοίνισμα, περίμετρον, περίχωρον; regio, funiculus), one of the singular topographical terms (q.v.) in which the ancient Hebrew language abounded, and which add so, much force and precision :to its records. The ordinary meaning of the word is a "rope" or " cord;" and in this sense it frequently occurs both literally (as Jos_2:15, "cord;" 1Ki_20:31, "ropes;" Isa_33:23, "tacklings;" Amo_7:17, "line") and metaphorically (as Ecc_12:6; Isa_5:18; Hos_11:4). From this it has passed with a curious correspondence to our own modes of speech to denote a body of men, a "band" (as in Psa_119:61). In 1Sa_10:5; 1Sa_10:10, our word " string" would not be inappropriate to the circumstances "a string of prophets coming down from the high place." Further it is found in other metaphorical senses, arising out of its original meaning (as Job_18:10; Psa_18:4; Jer_13:21). From the idea of a measuring-line (Mic_2:5), it has come to mean a "portion" or "allotment" (as 1Ch_16:18; Psa_105:11; Eze_47:13). It is the word used in the familiar passage "the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places" (Psa_16:6). But in its topographical sense, as meaning a "tract" or "district," we find it always attached to the region of Argob, which is invariably designated by this, and by no other term (Deu_3:4; Deu_3:13-14; 1Ki_4:13). Its propriety is illustrated by a late traveler in those regions, who shows the abrupt definiteness of the boundary of the district (Graham, in Cambridge Essays, 1858). A comparison of the fact that Argob was taken possession of by Manasseh a part of the great tribe of Joseph with the use of this word by that tribe, and by Joshua in his retort, in the very early and characteristic fragment, Jos_17:5; Jos_17:14 (A. V. "portion"), prompts the suggestion that it may have been a provincialism in use among that large and independent part of Israel. Or its application to the "rocky shore" of Argob may be illustrated and justified by its use (Zep_2:5-7; A. V. "coast") for the "coast line" of the' Mediterranean along Philistia. In connection with the sea-shore it is also employed in Jos_19:29. SEE ARGOB.
