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, dismay, or terror, indicating a state of being overwhelmed or deeply disturbed. The term can also imply a sense of being discouraged or demoralized, often in the face of overwhelming odds or divine judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being "shattered" or "dismayed" was often associated with the experience of warfare, divine judgment, or encountering the presence of God. The Israelites, living in a world where military conflict and divine intervention were common, would have understood "Chathath" as a powerful expression of fear and vulnerability. The term reflects the human response to situations that are beyond one's control, whether due to natural disasters, enemy threats, or the awe-inspiring presence of the divine.
