Strong's Lexicon shachats: To trample down, to despise, to reject Original Word: שַׁחַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts includes καταπατέω (katapateo), which means to trample or tread down, reflecting a similar sense of disdain or rejection. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shachats" primarily conveys the action of trampling down or treating something with contempt. It is used to describe an attitude of disdain or rejection, often in the context of moral or spiritual rebellion. The term implies a deliberate act of devaluation or scorn. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of trampling something underfoot was a powerful symbol of contempt and rejection.
