Strong's Lexicon tabbach: Cook, butcher, executioner, guard Original Word: טַבָּח Word Origin: From the root verb טָבַח (tabach), meaning "to slaughter" or "to butcher." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3041 (lachanopoios): Refers to a gardener or one who cultivates plants, which can be loosely related to the preparation of food. - G5518 (chortophagos): Refers to an eater of vegetables, again related to dietary practices. Usage: The Hebrew word "tabbach" primarily refers to a person who slaughters animals for food, a cook, or a butcher. In some contexts, it can also refer to an executioner or a guard, particularly one responsible for carrying out capital punishment or serving in a protective capacity. The term is used to describe roles that involve the preparation of food or the execution of justice. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the role of a "tabbach" was significant due to the importance of dietary laws and sacrificial practices. Butchers and cooks were essential for preparing meals in accordance with kosher laws, and they played a vital role in both daily life and religious ceremonies. Executioners or guards, on the other hand, were responsible for maintaining order and carrying out judicial sentences, reflecting the societal need for justice and protection.
