Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּט (shut), which means to go or to row.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Strong's entries for the Hebrew מְשׁוֹט, the concept of rowing and oars is present in the New Testament. The Greek word ἐρέσσω (eresso), Strong's Greek Number 1643, is used to describe the action of rowing. Another related term is κώπη (kope), Strong's Greek Number 2855, which refers to an oar or handle. These terms capture similar maritime activities and tools as מְשׁוֹט in the Hebrew context.

Usage: The term מְשׁוֹט is used in the context of navigation and rowing, specifically referring to the oars used to propel or steer a vessel.

Context: • מְשׁוֹט appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to maritime activities. It is specifically mentioned in Ezekiel 27:29, where it describes the oars used by mariners. The passage is part of a lamentation over the fall of Tyre, a prominent ancient maritime city. The verse highlights the role of oarsmen in navigating the seas, emphasizing the skill and labor involved in steering large ships.
• Ezekiel 27:29 (BSB): "All who handle the oars will abandon their ships; the mariners and all the sailors will stand on the shore."
• This imagery underscores the desolation and abandonment that will befall Tyre, as even those skilled in navigation will be left without purpose. The use of מְשׁוֹט in this context serves to illustrate the broader theme of judgment and the collapse of a once-thriving trade hub.
