Strong's Lexicon tebar: To break, shatter, destroy Original Word: תְּבַר Word Origin: Aramaic root, related to the Hebrew root בָּרַר (barar), meaning "to break" or "to shatter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of breaking or destroying can be related to Greek words such as καταλύω (katalyō - Strong's Greek 2647), meaning "to destroy" or "to dissolve." Usage: The Aramaic verb "tebar" is used to convey the action of breaking or shattering something. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe the destruction or downfall of kingdoms, powers, or idols. The term emphasizes the complete and utter destruction of the object in question. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the ancient Near East, the imagery of breaking or shattering was a powerful metaphor for the defeat and humiliation of enemies or the destruction of idols and false gods. This reflects the cultural understanding of divine power and judgment, where the breaking of physical objects symbolized the triumph of the true God over false powers.
