Strong's Lexicon bizzah: Spoil, Plunder, Booty Original Word: בִּזּה Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּזַז (bazaz), meaning "to plunder" or "to spoil." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1283 (diarpazo): To plunder, to seize - G2983 (lambano): To take, to receive (in the context of taking spoil) Usage: The term "bizzah" refers to the goods or wealth taken by force, typically in the context of war or conquest. It is used to describe the material possessions seized from defeated enemies, often as a sign of victory and divine favor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the concept of plunder was a common aspect of warfare. Victorious armies would claim the possessions of their enemies as a reward for their triumph. This practice was not only a means of acquiring wealth but also a demonstration of power and dominance. In the biblical narrative, the taking of spoil often signifies God's provision and blessing upon His people, as well as His judgment upon the wicked.
