Strong's Lexicon shibyah: Captivity, captives Original Word: שִׁבְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבָה (shabah), meaning "to take captive" or "to capture." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G161 - αἰχμαλωσία (aichmalosia) - captivity - G162 - αἰχμαλωτεύω (aichmaloteuo) - to lead captive Usage: The term "shibyah" refers to the state of being taken captive or the condition of captivity. It is often used in the context of war, where individuals or groups are taken as prisoners. The word can also denote the captives themselves, emphasizing their status and condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, warfare often resulted in the capture of individuals who were then taken as slaves or hostages. This practice was common among nations and was a significant aspect of military conquests. The concept of captivity in the Hebrew Bible is not only a physical state but also carries spiritual and moral implications, often symbolizing the consequences of disobedience to God.
