Usage: The term שָׁאט (sha'at) is used in the context of expressing disdain or contempt. It is a verb that conveys the act of despising or holding something or someone in contempt.

Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁאט (sha'at) is a primitive root that appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe an attitude of contempt or disdain. This term is used to convey a strong sense of rejection or scorn towards something deemed unworthy or despicable. The act of contemning is not merely a passive feeling but an active expression of disdain, often leading to rejection or dismissal.

In the context of biblical usage, שָׁאט (sha'at) can be seen as a reflection of the human heart's tendency to reject what is perceived as inferior or unworthy. This attitude is often contrasted with the biblical call to humility and respect for others, highlighting the moral and ethical teachings of the Scriptures.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides a translation that captures the essence of this term, emphasizing the seriousness of such an attitude in the biblical narrative. The use of שָׁאט (sha'at) serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a heart that is open to understanding and compassion, rather than one that is quick to scorn or reject.
