Brown-Driver-Briggs צְחִיחָה noun feminine scorched land; — ׳צ Psalm 68:7. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root צָחַח (tsachach), meaning "to be parched" or "to be dry."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for צְחִיחָה, the concept of a desert or wilderness is often captured in the Greek New Testament by words such as ἔρημος (erēmos), which also denotes a solitary or desolate place. Usage: The term צְחִיחָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a dry, barren, and desolate area, often associated with wilderness or desert regions. Context: • The Hebrew word צְחִיחָה (Tsechiychah) is used to depict a landscape characterized by dryness and lack of vegetation, typically referring to a desert or wilderness area. This term is emblematic of the harsh and inhospitable conditions found in such regions, where water is scarce and survival is challenging. The imagery of a parched land is often employed in the Bible to convey themes of desolation, spiritual barrenness, or divine judgment. In the context of biblical narratives, the desert serves as a backdrop for testing, reflection, and encounters with God. The wilderness experience of the Israelites, for instance, is a significant motif in the biblical text, symbolizing both physical and spiritual trials. The term צְחִיחָה underscores the stark contrast between the fertile, life-sustaining land promised by God and the barren wilderness that represents separation from divine favor.
