5499. sechabah
Berean Strong's Lexicon
sechabah: Rag, cloth

Original Word: סְחָבָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: sechabah
Pronunciation: seh-khah-VAH
Phonetic Spelling: (seh-khaw-baw')
Definition: Rag, cloth
Meaning: a rag

Word Origin: Derived from the root סָחַב (sachab), meaning "to drag" or "to sweep away."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of humility and the transient nature of material goods can be related to Greek terms such as "ῥάκος" (rhakos, G4464), meaning "rag" or "tattered garment."

Usage: The term "sechabah" refers to a piece of cloth or rag, often used in contexts implying something of little value or utility. It is used metaphorically to describe something that is worn out or discarded.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cloth and textiles were valuable commodities, often handmade and labor-intensive to produce. However, as with any material goods, they could become worn out and lose their value. The use of "sechabah" in the Hebrew Bible reflects a cultural understanding of the transient nature of material possessions and the humility associated with items of low status.
