Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of cutting off or destroying in the New Testament can be related to Greek terms such as ἀποκόπτω (apokoptō • Strong's Greek 609), which means to cut off, or ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi • Strong's Greek 622), which means to destroy or perish. These Greek terms capture similar themes of separation and destruction found in the Hebrew קָצָה.

Usage: The verb קָצָה (qatsah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of cutting off or destroying. It often implies a complete removal or destruction, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense.

Context: The Hebrew verb קָצָה (qatsah) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often associated with the idea of cutting off or destroying. This term can be used in a literal sense, such as cutting off a piece of material or scraping something off a surface. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the destruction or removal of people, nations, or objects. The action of קָצָה is typically decisive and complete, indicating a thorough separation or obliteration.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of קָצָה can be seen in passages where God commands the destruction of certain peoples or objects as part of His divine judgment or purification process. The term underscores the seriousness and finality of such actions, reflecting the broader biblical themes of judgment and redemption.
