Strong's Lexicon shephek: Pouring, outpouring Original Word: שֶׁפֶךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁפַךְ (shaphak), meaning "to pour out" or "to shed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἐκχέω (ekcheo), Strong's Greek #1632, meaning "to pour out." Usage: The term "shephek" is used to denote the act of pouring or an outpouring, often in the context of shedding blood or pouring out wrath. It conveys a sense of abundance or completeness in the act of pouring, whether it be liquid, blood, or metaphorically, emotions or divine wrath. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of pouring was significant in both religious and everyday contexts. Pouring out liquids was a common part of sacrificial rituals, symbolizing the offering of life or sustenance to God. The shedding of blood, particularly in sacrificial contexts, was seen as a means of atonement and purification. The concept of divine wrath being "poured out" reflects the ancient understanding of God's justice and judgment being dispensed in full measure.
