Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁלַח (shalach), meaning "to send" or "to stretch out."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G956 (bélos): Refers to a missile or dart, similar to the Hebrew concept of a spear or javelin. Usage: The word שֶׁלַח (shelach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both physical weapons, such as spears, and natural growths, like branches or shoots. This dual usage highlights the word's versatility in describing objects that extend outward, whether in the context of warfare or nature. Context: • Missile of Attack / Spear: In the context of warfare, שֶׁלַח (shelach) is often used to describe a spear or javelin, a weapon designed for throwing or thrusting. This usage is evident in passages where the term is associated with battle or defense. For example, in 2 Samuel 18:14, Joab uses three spears to pierce Absalom's heart, illustrating the lethal nature of such weapons.
