Strong's Lexicon shaphak: To pour out, to shed, to spill Original Word: שָׁפַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 1632. ἐκχέω (ekcheo): To pour out, to shed - 1637. ἐκχύσις (ekchysis): A pouring out, an outpouring Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaphak" primarily means "to pour out" or "to shed." It is often used in the context of pouring out liquids, such as water or blood, and can also refer to the shedding of blood in a violent or sacrificial context. The term conveys a sense of abundance or completeness in the act of pouring, often implying a total or irreversible action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of pouring out liquids had significant ritualistic and symbolic meanings. For example, the pouring out of blood in sacrifices was a central aspect of the sacrificial system, symbolizing atonement and the sanctification of the altar. The shedding of blood in a violent context often indicated judgment or divine retribution. Additionally, the pouring out of water or other liquids could symbolize blessing, abundance, or the outpouring of God's Spirit.
