Berean Strong's Lexicon shadad: To devastate, destroy, ruin, spoil, oppress Original Word: שָׁדַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of destruction and devastation can be related to Greek terms such as "ἀπόλλυμι" (apollymi - Strong's G622), meaning to destroy or perish. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shadad" primarily conveys the act of violently destroying or devastating. It is often used in the context of military conquest, where cities or nations are laid waste. The term can also imply oppression or plundering, highlighting the aggressive and forceful nature of the action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, warfare and conquest were common, and the devastation of cities and lands was a frequent occurrence. The use of "shadad" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the historical realities of Israel and its neighbors, where the rise and fall of empires often involved the destruction of cities and the subjugation of peoples. This term captures the severity and totality of such destruction, often seen as a divine judgment or a consequence of covenant unfaithfulness.
