Word Origin: Derived from the root צָמַת (tsamat), which means to cut off, destroy, or annihilate.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of צְמִיתֻת is found in Strong's Greek Number G951: βέβαιος (bebaios), which can mean firm, secure, or certain. While not a direct translation, the Greek term captures the sense of certainty and irrevocability that is inherent in the Hebrew concept of total destruction or annihilation.

Usage: This term is used in the context of complete and utter destruction or annihilation, often with a sense of permanence. It is typically used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the total destruction of a people or nation as a divine judgment.

Context: • The term צְמִיתֻת appears in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of total and irrevocable destruction. It is often associated with divine judgment, where the annihilation is not just physical but also carries a spiritual or moral dimension. The use of this term underscores the severity and finality of the judgment being described.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in contexts that emphasize the complete and irreversible nature of the destruction. For example, in Psalm 94:23, it is used to describe the fate of the wicked: "He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy them."
• The concept of צְמִיתֻת is significant in understanding the biblical portrayal of divine justice, where the ultimate fate of the wicked is not just a temporary setback but a permanent removal from the realm of the living.
