Chadash means new, fresh, or recent. It appears about 53 times. It describes new things — a new song, new covenant, new heavens and earth — carrying connotations of freshness, renewal, and divine innovation.
God's power to make things chadash is central to prophetic hope. Jeremiah's 'new covenant' (31:31), Isaiah's 'new heavens and earth' (65:17), and the Psalmist's 'new song' point to God's ability to break through the old. This finds fulfillment in Christ who makes 'all things new.'
