Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבָה (shavah), which means "to take captive" or "to lead away."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1494: εἰδωλόθυτον (eidolothuton) • often related to things sacrificed to idols, not directly corresponding but relevant in the context of exile and idolatry.
• G1628: ἐκβάλλω (ekballo) • to cast out, expel, which can relate to the concept of being driven into exile.
• G3351: μεταναστεύω (metanasteuo) • to migrate, which can be associated with the movement of people during exile.

These Greek entries provide a broader understanding of the themes related to exile, such as displacement and the spiritual implications of being removed from one's homeland.

Usage: The word שִׁבְיָה (shivyah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the experience of the Israelites and others who were taken into captivity. It is often associated with the Babylonian exile, a significant event in Jewish history.

Context: The concept of שִׁבְיָה (shivyah) is central to understanding the historical and theological context of the Hebrew Bible. The exile, particularly the Babylonian captivity, was a pivotal moment for the Israelites, marking a period of profound loss and reflection. This experience is captured in various biblical texts, where the term שִׁבְיָה (shivyah) is used to convey the physical and spiritual displacement of the people.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is often translated as "exile" or "captivity," reflecting the dual nature of the experience—both as a physical removal from the land and as a spiritual trial. The exile served as a catalyst for the Israelites to turn back to God, prompting a renewal of faith and covenantal commitment.

Theologically, שִׁבְיָה (shivyah) is seen as both a consequence of disobedience and a means of divine correction. It underscores the themes of judgment and redemption, illustrating how God uses even adverse circumstances to fulfill His purposes and restore His people.
