Strong's Lexicon shechuth: Slaughtered, destroyed Original Word: שְׁחוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁחַת (shachat), meaning "to slaughter" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is σφάζω (sphazo), meaning "to slay" or "to slaughter," which is Strong's Greek #4969. Usage: The term "shechuth" refers to something that has been slaughtered or destroyed, often in the context of sacrificial offerings or acts of judgment. It conveys the idea of something being completely and utterly put to an end, whether through ritual sacrifice or divine retribution. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of slaughtering animals was central to the sacrificial system established by God. Sacrifices were a means of atonement, thanksgiving, and worship, and they played a crucial role in the religious life of the Israelites. The concept of destruction, particularly in the context of divine judgment, was also significant, as it underscored the holiness of God and the seriousness of sin.
