Berean Strong's Lexicon shamad: To destroy, annihilate, exterminate Original Word: שָׁמַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G622 (ἀπόλλυμι, apollymi) - to destroy, to perish - G853 (ἀφανίζω, aphanizo) - to make disappear, to destroy Usage: The Hebrew verb "shamad" primarily means to destroy or annihilate. It is often used in the context of divine judgment or warfare, where complete destruction is intended. The term conveys a sense of thoroughness and finality, often implying that what is destroyed cannot be restored. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine retribution or the consequences of covenant unfaithfulness. The Israelites understood "shamad" as a form of divine judgment against nations or peoples who opposed God's will or oppressed His people. This term reflects the seriousness with which God viewed sin and rebellion, as well as His commitment to justice and holiness.
