Usage: The term הֲרֵגָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe acts of slaughter, typically in the context of warfare or divine judgment.

Context: The term הֲרֵגָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote acts of slaughter, often associated with divine retribution or military conquest. It is a term that underscores the severity and magnitude of the act of killing. In the context of the ancient Near Eastern culture, where warfare and divine judgment were common themes, הֲרֵגָה captures the gravity of such events. The word is used to describe not just the physical act of killing but also the broader implications of judgment and destruction that accompany it. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in contexts that highlight the seriousness of the act, often reflecting the moral and theological dimensions of such events in the biblical narrative.
