Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root in Aramaic.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 622: ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi) • to destroy, to perish Usage: This verb is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is employed to describe the act of perishing or being destroyed, often in the context of divine judgment or the consequences of sin. Context: The Aramaic verb אֲבַד (avad) is a significant term found in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods of Israel's history, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe the fate of those who are lost or destroyed, often as a result of divine judgment. The term carries a connotation of finality and irrevocability, emphasizing the seriousness of turning away from God. In Daniel 2:12, for example, the term is used to describe the decree to destroy the wise men of Babylon: "Because of this, the king became indignant and very furious, and he gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon." This usage underscores the severity of the king's decree and the peril faced by those who could not interpret his dream. The term also appears in Ezra 6:12, where it is used in the context of a curse against those who would alter the decree concerning the rebuilding of the temple: "May God, who has caused His Name to dwell there, overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to alter this decree or to destroy this temple in Jerusalem." Here, the term אֲבַד (avad) is associated with divine retribution against those who oppose God's purposes.
