Strong's Lexicon shuchah: Pit, ditch Original Word: שׁוּחָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: shuwchah Pronunciation: shoo-khah' Phonetic Spelling: (shoo-khaw') Definition: a chasm Meaning: A chasm, pit, or abyss; a deep, hollow place. Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּחַ (shuch), which means to sink down or to be low. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a pit or abyss in the Greek New Testament can be related to terms such as: - Strong's Greek 5421 (φρέαρ, phrear): A well or pit. - Strong's Greek 12 (ἄβυσσος, abyssos): An abyss or bottomless pit, often used in apocalyptic literature to describe a place of confinement for evil spirits. These Greek terms capture similar themes of depth, danger, and entrapment, paralleling the Hebrew concept of שׁוּחָה. Usage: The term שׁוּחָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical or metaphorical pit or abyss, often symbolizing danger, destruction, or a place of entrapment. Context: The Hebrew word שׁוּחָה (shuchah) appears in the Old Testament to denote a chasm or pit, often used metaphorically to describe situations of peril or entrapment. This term is rooted in the concept of sinking or being brought low, reflecting both physical and spiritual dimensions of descent. In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), שׁוּחָה is translated in contexts that emphasize the depth and danger associated with such pits. For instance, in Psalms and Proverbs, the imagery of a pit is frequently employed to convey the consequences of wickedness or the snares laid by the wicked for the righteous. The pit serves as a symbol of divine judgment or the natural outcome of one's actions, illustrating the moral and spiritual laws governing human behavior. The use of שׁוּחָה in the Hebrew Bible underscores the precarious nature of life and the ever-present potential for falling into ruin or despair. It serves as a cautionary image, reminding the faithful of the importance of righteousness and the vigilance required to avoid the traps set by evil.
