Strong's Lexicon midcheh: Ruin, downfall, stumbling Original Word: מִדְחֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּחָה (dachah), meaning "to push," "thrust," or "cast away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of ruin or stumbling is σκανδαλίζω (skandalizō), Strong's Greek #4624, which means "to cause to stumble" or "to offend." Usage: The term "midcheh" is used to describe a state of ruin or downfall, often in a moral or spiritual sense. It conveys the idea of being pushed away or cast down, typically as a result of sin or disobedience to God's commandments. The word can also imply a stumbling block or an obstacle that leads to one's downfall. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being cast down or experiencing ruin was often associated with divine judgment. The Israelites believed that obedience to God's laws would lead to blessings, while disobedience would result in punishment and ruin. The term "midcheh" reflects this understanding, emphasizing the consequences of turning away from God.
