Usage: The verb שָׁטַח (shatach) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of spreading out or expanding. It can refer to the physical act of spreading something over an area or metaphorically to the expansion of influence or territory. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁטַח (shatach) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of spreading or expanding. This term is used to describe actions such as spreading out a garment or a tent, indicating a physical expansion.
