Definition: Chung refers to a term used in Jewish law that describes someone's financial status, often used to determine eligibility for certain benefits or privileges. The term comes from the verb "chumah," which means "to make." In the Bible, it is also used metaphorically as a noun to refer to a person's character or disposition. For instance, when it refers to a person's character in the Bible, "I will give you wisdom and understanding, and I will cause you to understand my statutes; and I will make your heart understand the law." This means that Chung is used metaphorically to describe someone's understanding of God's laws.
