Strong's Lexicon labat: To fall, to fail, to be cast down Original Word: לָבַט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concepts can be found in words like "πίπτω" (pipto, Strong's Greek 4098), which means to fall, and "ἀποτυγχάνω" (apotynchano, Strong's Greek 593), meaning to fail or miss the mark. Usage: The Hebrew verb "labat" generally conveys the idea of falling or failing, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It can imply a literal fall, such as stumbling or being cast down, or a more figurative failure, such as a moral or spiritual downfall. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of falling or failing was often associated with divine judgment or personal weakness. The physical act of falling could symbolize a loss of favor or strength, while moral or spiritual failure was seen as a deviation from God's commandments. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently use physical metaphors to describe spiritual realities, and "labat" fits within this tradition.
