The term "piss" appears in the Bible primarily in the context of the phrase "him that pisseth against the wall," which is found in several passages in the Old Testament. This expression is a Hebrew idiom used to refer to males, often in a derogatory or contemptuous manner. It is used in the context of divine judgment or destruction, emphasizing the totality of the eradication of a particular group or lineage.

Biblical References:

1. 1 Samuel 25:22 : "May God punish David, and ever so severely, if I let one of Nabal’s men survive until morning." In this passage, David uses the expression as he vows to destroy all the males in Nabal's household after being insulted by Nabal. The phrase underscores the completeness of the intended destruction.

2. 1 Kings 14:10 : "Because of all this, I am about to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone." Here, the phrase is part of a prophecy against the house of Jeroboam, indicating the total annihilation of his male descendants as a judgment from God.

3. 1 Kings 16:11 : "As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether relative or friend." This passage describes Zimri's actions against the house of Baasha, using the idiom to highlight the thoroughness of his purge.

4. 1 Kings 21:21 : "This is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to bring disaster on you and will wipe out your descendants. I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free in Israel." The phrase is used in the context of Elijah's prophecy against Ahab, signifying the complete destruction of Ahab's male lineage as a divine punishment.

5. 2 Kings 9:8 : "The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free in Israel." This prophecy against the house of Ahab reiterates the theme of total male eradication as a form of divine retribution.

Cultural and Theological Context:

The use of the term "piss" in these contexts reflects the cultural and linguistic norms of the ancient Near East, where such expressions were common in conveying contempt or totality. The idiom "him that pisseth against the wall" is understood to specifically denote males, emphasizing the complete destruction of a family line or group as a form of divine judgment.

From a theological perspective, these passages illustrate the seriousness of sin and the severity of God's judgment against those who lead Israel into idolatry or rebellion. The eradication of male descendants served as a means to prevent the continuation of a sinful lineage and to uphold the holiness and justice of God.

Interpretation:

In interpreting these passages, it is important to recognize the idiomatic nature of the language and the cultural context in which it was used. The expression is not intended to be vulgar but rather to convey a specific meaning within the narrative of divine judgment. Conservative Christian interpretations often view these passages as a demonstration of God's righteous anger against sin and a reminder of the consequences of disobedience to His commandments.1.
