Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁסָה (shasah), meaning "to plunder" or "to spoil."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of plunder in the Hebrew Bible is paralleled in the Greek New Testament by terms such as σκῦλον (skulon, Strong's Greek 4661), which also means "spoil" or "booty." This Greek term is used in similar contexts to describe the taking of goods by force, often in the aftermath of conflict or as a result of divine intervention.

Usage: The term מְשִׁסָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of taking goods by force, often in the context of military conquest or divine judgment. It appears in various passages where the spoils of war are mentioned.

Context: • מְשִׁסָּה is a term that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to denote the act of plundering or the goods obtained through such an act. It is often associated with the aftermath of battles, where victors would seize the possessions of the defeated as a form of reward or retribution. The concept of plunder is frequently linked with divine justice or judgment, where God allows or commands the taking of spoil as a means of executing His will or punishing the wicked.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מְשִׁסָּה is translated as "plunder" in contexts that highlight the consequences of disobedience to God or the fulfillment of His promises to His people. For example, in passages where God promises to deliver enemies into the hands of Israel, the taking of plunder is often mentioned as part of the victory.
• The term underscores the transient nature of material wealth and the ultimate sovereignty of God over nations and their possessions. It serves as a reminder of the futility of relying on earthly riches and the importance of seeking divine favor and righteousness.
