Strong's Lexicon debach: Sacrifice, offering Original Word: דְּבַח Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַח (dābach), meaning "to sacrifice" or "to slaughter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for Hebrew sacrificial terms is θυσία (thusia), Strong's Greek #2378, which also means "sacrifice" or "offering." Usage: The term "debach" refers to a sacrifice or offering, typically involving the slaughter of an animal as an act of worship or atonement. In the Hebrew Bible, sacrifices were a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means to express devotion, seek forgiveness, and maintain a covenant relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sacrifices were integral to the worship practices outlined in the Torah. The sacrificial system was established by God as a way for the Israelites to atone for their sins, express gratitude, and maintain fellowship with Him. Sacrifices were offered at the Tabernacle and later at the Temple in Jerusalem. The practice of sacrifice was common in the ancient Near East, but the Hebrew sacrificial system was distinct in its monotheistic focus and its emphasis on holiness and covenant.
