Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of plundering or seizing is שָׁסָה (shasah), which means to plunder or spoil. Usage: The verb διαρπάζω (diarpazó) conveys the action of seizing or plundering with force and thoroughness.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of plundering was familiar in the context of warfare and conquest. Armies would often seize goods, property, and even people as part of their victory spoils. The term διαρπάζω would resonate with audiences familiar with the harsh realities of military campaigns and the subsequent redistribution of wealth and resources.
