Strong's Lexicon mappal: Fall, downfall, overthrow Original Word: מַפָּל Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַל (naphal), meaning "to fall" or "to cause to fall." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is πτώσις (ptosis), Strong's Greek #4431, which also means "fall" or "downfall." Usage: The term "mappal" is used to describe a fall or overthrow, often in the context of a defeat or a significant downfall. It conveys the idea of a sudden or dramatic collapse, whether of individuals, nations, or structures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of a "fall" or "overthrow" was often associated with divine judgment or the consequences of moral and spiritual failure. The Israelites understood that their success or failure was closely tied to their obedience to God's commandments. The term "mappal" would have been a powerful reminder of the potential consequences of turning away from God.
