Usage: The Hebrew verb "chathath" primarily conveys the idea of being shattered or broken, both physically and emotionally. It is often used in the context of fear or dismay, where individuals or nations are described as being terrified or demoralized. The term can also imply a sense of being crushed or brought low, often as a result of divine judgment or overwhelming circumstances.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of fear and dismay was closely tied to one's relationship with God and the surrounding nations. The Israelites often faced threats from larger, more powerful nations, and their response to these threats was seen as a reflection of their faith and trust in God. The use of "chathath" in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the contrast between human frailty and divine strength, highlighting the need for reliance on God in times of trouble.
