Strong's Lexicon sheber: Break, fracture, ruin, destruction, collapse Original Word: שֶׁבֶר Word Origin: From the root verb שָׁבַר (shabar), meaning "to break" or "to shatter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4486 (rhegnumi): To break, rend, or burst. - G2806 (klao): To break, especially of bread. Usage: The Hebrew word "sheber" primarily denotes a state of being broken or shattered, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical destruction, such as the breaking of objects or structures, as well as emotional or spiritual ruin, such as the breaking of a heart or spirit. In the context of the Bible, "sheber" often conveys the idea of judgment or calamity brought upon individuals or nations due to disobedience to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "sheber" was closely associated with divine judgment. The breaking or shattering of objects, cities, or even people was often seen as a manifestation of God's displeasure or as a consequence of sin. The imagery of breaking was powerful in a society where physical integrity and wholeness were highly valued. The term also reflects the fragility of human endeavors and the need for reliance on God's strength and protection.
