Strong's Lexicon qoteb: Destruction, ruin Original Word: קֹטֶב Word Origin: Derived from the root קָטַב (qatab), which means "to cut off" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qoteb," the concept of destruction or ruin can be found in Greek terms such as ἀπώλεια (apōleia - Strong's Greek 684), which also conveys the idea of destruction or loss, often in a spiritual or eschatological sense. Usage: The term "qoteb" is used to denote a sense of destruction or ruin, often in the context of divine judgment or calamity. It conveys the idea of something being cut off or brought to an end, typically as a result of God's righteous judgment against sin or disobedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine retribution. The Israelites understood calamities and destruction as manifestations of God's displeasure with their actions, particularly when they strayed from His commandments. The use of "qoteb" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this understanding, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the consequences that follow. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as qeteb, q.v.
