Lexicon shabluwl: Snail, slug Original Word: שַׁבְלוּל Strong's Exhaustive Concordance snail From the same as shebel; a snail (as if floating in its own slime) -- snail. see HEBREW shebel Brown-Driver-Briggs שַׁבְּלוּל noun masculine snail (Shaph`el form, causing moisture, from notion of moisture or fluid in בלל); — name due to slimy trail Psalm 58:9, שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to trail along.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word שַׁבְלוּל, as the concept of a snail or slug is not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament lexicon. However, similar imagery of decay or dissolution might be found in Greek words that describe perishable or transient things. Usage: The term שַׁבְלוּל appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a snail or slug, particularly in the context of its slow movement and the trail it leaves behind. Context: The Hebrew word שַׁבְלוּל (shablul) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in Psalm 58:8. The verse metaphorically uses the imagery of a snail to convey the idea of something that dissolves or melts away as it moves. In the Berean Standard Bible, Psalm 58:8 reads: "Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman's stillborn child, may they never see the sun." This imagery is employed to describe the fate of the wicked, emphasizing their eventual disappearance and ineffectiveness. The snail's slow and trailing movement, along with the slime it leaves behind, serves as a vivid picture of gradual decay and insignificance.
