Strong's Lexicon shachath: Pit, destruction, corruption Original Word: שַׁחַת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁחַת (shachath), meaning "to destroy" or "to corrupt." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 5421 (phrear): A pit or well, often used in the Septuagint to translate "shachath." - Strong's Greek 86 (Hades): The Greek equivalent of Sheol, often used in the New Testament to describe the realm of the dead. Usage: The Hebrew word "shachath" primarily refers to a pit or a place of destruction. It is often used metaphorically to describe a state of ruin or corruption, both physically and morally. In the Old Testament, it can denote a literal pit, such as a cistern or a trap, or it can symbolize the grave, Sheol, or a place of judgment and decay. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a pit or a place of destruction was closely associated with Sheol, the abode of the dead. The imagery of a pit was used to convey the idea of being trapped, lost, or in a state of hopelessness. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of the afterlife and the consequences of moral and spiritual corruption.
