Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct equivalent in the Greek Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew שָׁתַן, as the Greek New Testament does not contain a specific term for urination. However, bodily functions are occasionally referenced in broader terms within the Greek texts, often using euphemisms or indirect language.

Usage: This term is used in the context of bodily functions, specifically referring to the act of urination. It is a straightforward term that appears in discussions of natural human processes.

Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁתַן (shatan) is a primitive root that denotes the act of urination. This term is not frequently encountered in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the cultural and linguistic norms of the time, which often avoided direct references to bodily functions. However, its presence in the lexicon indicates an acknowledgment of the natural processes of the human body. The usage of שָׁתַן is typically straightforward and functional, without additional metaphorical or symbolic meanings. In the context of ancient Israelite society, such terms would have been understood in their plain sense, relating to the daily life and human experience.
