Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁחַת (shachath), which means "to destroy" or "to corrupt."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G999 (βάραθρον, barathron): A pit or abyss. Usage: The word שַׁחַת appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing a place of physical or moral degradation. It is used to describe literal pits or ditches, as well as metaphorical states of destruction or corruption. Context: שַׁחַת (shachat) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a "pit" or "destruction." It is frequently used in poetic and prophetic literature to convey themes of judgment, ruin, and the consequences of sin. The imagery of a pit often serves as a metaphor for Sheol, the abode of the dead, or a place of divine retribution. For instance, in Psalm 16:10, the psalmist expresses confidence that God will not abandon his soul to Sheol, nor allow His Holy One to see corruption (שַׁחַת). Similarly, in Isaiah 38:17, the term is used to describe the deliverance from the pit of destruction. The word underscores the transient nature of life and the ultimate fate of those who turn away from righteousness. In the prophetic writings, שַׁחַת is employed to warn of impending judgment and the dire consequences of moral decay.
