Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew פַטִּישׁ in the Strong's Concordance.

Usage: The term פַטִּישׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a hammer, a tool used for pounding or striking.

Context: The Hebrew word פַטִּישׁ (pattish) appears in the Old Testament and is translated as "hammer" in English. This tool is typically associated with construction, craftsmanship, and sometimes metaphorically with destruction or judgment. The hammer is a symbol of power and force, often used to break or shape objects.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), פַטִּישׁ is found in the following context:

• Jeremiah 23:29: "Is not My word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that smashes a rock?" Here, the hammer symbolizes the powerful and penetrating nature of God's word, capable of breaking through the hardest of hearts or situations.

The imagery of the hammer in this passage emphasizes the strength and effectiveness of divine communication, illustrating how God's word can dismantle falsehoods and bring about transformation.
