Berean Strong's Lexicon petash: To crush, to pound, to pulverize Original Word: פְּתַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "συντρίβω" (syntribo), which also means to crush or break into pieces. Usage: The Hebrew verb "petash" primarily conveys the action of crushing or pulverizing something into small pieces. It is often used in contexts where materials are broken down into finer particles, such as grinding grain or crushing stones. The term implies a thorough and complete process of breaking down, often for the purpose of transformation or preparation for further use. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the process of crushing or grinding was a common and necessary task, especially in the preparation of food. Grains were crushed to make flour, and spices were ground to enhance the flavor of meals. The imagery of crushing is also used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the breaking down of nations, the humbling of the proud, or the refining of individuals through trials.
