Berean Strong's Lexicon
shittin: Acacia

Original Word: שִׁטִּים
Part of Speech: Noun
Transliteration: shittin
Pronunciation: shit-TEEM
Phonetic Spelling: (shit-teen')
Definition: Acacia
Meaning: sixty

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁטָה (shatah), meaning "to pierce" or "to flog," likely referring to the thorny nature of the acacia tree.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "shittin" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term specifically refers to a type of wood used in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The term "shittin" refers to the acacia tree, specifically its wood, which is known for its durability and resistance to decay. In the Bible, acacia wood is notably used in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, and the altar of burnt offering. The use of acacia wood symbolizes strength, endurance, and the incorruptible nature of God's covenant with His people.

Cultural and Historical Background: Acacia trees are native to the arid regions of the Middle East and Africa. They are characterized by their thorny branches and are well-suited to desert environments. In ancient Israel, acacia wood was a valuable resource due to its availability and durability. The Israelites, during their wilderness journey, would have had access to these trees, making them a practical choice for constructing sacred objects.
