Strong's Lexicon shechith: Destruction, ruin, corruption Original Word: שְׁחִית Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁחַת (shachat), meaning "to destroy" or "to corrupt." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἀπώλεια (apōleia) - G684, meaning "destruction" or "ruin." - φθορά (phthora) - G5356, meaning "corruption" or "decay." Usage: The Hebrew word "shechith" primarily denotes a state of destruction or ruin. It is often used in the context of physical destruction or moral corruption. The term can refer to the devastation brought about by divine judgment or the moral decay of individuals or societies. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine retribution. The Israelites understood that moral corruption and idolatry could lead to national ruin, as seen in the warnings of the prophets. The term "shechith" would have resonated with the audience as a serious consequence of turning away from God's commandments.
