Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for שָׁדַף (shadaph) in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, the concept of scorching or withering can be related to Greek terms that describe similar phenomena, such as καυματίζω (kaumatizo • to scorch) or ξηραίνω (xērainō • to dry up, wither). These Greek terms capture the essence of destruction or desolation caused by intense heat or adverse conditions, paralleling the Hebrew concept of שָׁדַף. Usage: The verb שָׁדַף (shadaph) is used in the context of describing the action of scorching or blighting, often in relation to crops or vegetation. It conveys the idea of withering or being damaged by intense heat or adverse conditions. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁדַף (shadaph) appears in the Old Testament to describe the destructive effect of scorching heat or a blight that affects crops. This term is used metaphorically to illustrate divine judgment or natural calamities that result in agricultural devastation. The imagery of scorching is often associated with the withering of plants, symbolizing the removal of life-sustaining resources and the subsequent barrenness. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is found in passages that highlight the vulnerability of human sustenance to divine intervention or natural phenomena. For example, in Genesis 41:6, the term is used to describe the thin and scorched ears of grain in Pharaoh's dream, symbolizing a period of famine: "After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted—thin and scorched by the east wind." This usage underscores the theme of divine sovereignty over nature and the dependence of human life on God's provision.
