These Greek terms reflect similar themes of contempt, disdain, and the act of trampling, providing a linguistic and thematic connection between the Hebrew and Greek scriptures.

Usage: The verb בּוּס (bus) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of trampling or treading down, often in a context of disdain or contempt. It can imply physical trampling or a metaphorical sense of treating something or someone with disrespect or scorn.

Context: The Hebrew verb בּוּס (bus) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often associated with the imagery of trampling underfoot. This action is frequently symbolic of subjugation, defeat, or humiliation. For instance, in Isaiah 14:19, the term is used to describe the fallen king of Babylon, who is "cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and those who descend to the stones of the pit, like a corpse trampled underfoot." This imagery underscores the complete and utter disgrace of the once-powerful ruler. Similarly, in Micah 7:10, the prophet speaks of the enemies of Israel being "trampled down like mud in the streets," illustrating their total defeat and humiliation.

The use of בּוּס (bus) often carries a connotation of divine judgment or retribution, where God allows or causes the trampling of nations or individuals as a consequence of their actions. This is evident in passages like Isaiah 63:3, where the Lord declares, "I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My wrath; their blood spattered My garments, and I stained all My clothing."

The verb is also used in a more general sense to describe the act of walking or treading upon something, as seen in the agricultural context of threshing floors, where grain is trampled to separate it from the chaff.
