Context: • מַפֶּלֶת (mappelet) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the concept of falling or ruin. It is often used in prophetic literature to depict the downfall of nations or individuals who have turned away from righteousness. The imagery of a "fall" or "ruin" serves as a powerful metaphor for divine judgment and the consequences of sin.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey the idea of something that has been brought low or destroyed, emphasizing the transient nature of human endeavors and the ultimate sovereignty of God. The word can also be used in a literal sense to describe a carcass, highlighting the physical result of a fall or destruction.
• The concept of מַפֶּלֶת is closely tied to the themes of repentance and redemption, as the fall often precedes a call to return to God and seek His mercy. The prophetic writings use this term to warn of impending judgment while also offering hope for restoration.
