Berean Strong's Lexicon tebusah: Defeat, treading down, trampling Original Word: תְּבוּסָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּס (bus), which means "to trample" or "to tread down." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of defeat or subjugation can be related to Greek terms such as καταπατέω (katapateo - Strong's Greek 2662), meaning "to trample down" or "to tread underfoot." Usage: The term "tebusah" is used to describe a state of being defeated or trampled down. It conveys the idea of being overpowered or subdued, often in a military or oppressive context. The word reflects a condition of humiliation or subjugation, typically as a result of an enemy's victory. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, military conquest and defeat were common experiences. The imagery of trampling or treading down was often used to describe the complete subjugation of a defeated people. This concept was not only physical but also carried a sense of shame and dishonor. In the biblical context, defeat was sometimes seen as a consequence of disobedience to God, serving as a call to repentance and return to covenant faithfulness.
