This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the act of killing, often in a sacrificial or violent context, similar to its Hebrew counterpart. For example, in Revelation 5:6, the Lamb is described as "having been slain" (σφαγμένον, sphagmenon), highlighting the sacrificial imagery associated with Christ's atoning death. Usage: The term שָׁחַט is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of slaughtering, particularly in the context of sacrificial offerings and ritual killings. It is often associated with the killing of animals for sacrifice, but can also refer to the act of killing in a more general sense. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁחַט (shachat) is a primitive root that primarily denotes the act of slaughtering, especially in a ritualistic or sacrificial context. This term is frequently used in the Pentateuch, where it describes the slaughtering of animals for offerings to God. For instance, in Leviticus 1:5, the text states, "Then he shall slaughter the bull before the LORD, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting." This illustrates the ceremonial aspect of שָׁחַט, emphasizing its role in the sacrificial system of ancient Israel.
