Strong's Lexicon abad: To perish, to destroy, to lose, to be lost Original Word: אבד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 622. ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi): To destroy, to perish - 684. ἀπώλεια (apoleia): Destruction, ruin Usage: The Hebrew verb 'abad primarily conveys the idea of perishing or being destroyed. It is often used in the context of something being lost or coming to an end. In the Old Testament, 'abad can refer to physical destruction, the loss of life, or the obliteration of objects or nations. It can also imply a spiritual or moral perishing, indicating a departure from God's ways leading to ruin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of 'abad was significant in understanding the consequences of disobedience to God's commandments. The covenant relationship between God and Israel included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, often resulting in 'abad, or destruction, for the latter. This term is frequently used in the context of divine judgment, where God allows or causes the destruction of those who oppose His will or harm His people.
