It can also extend metaphorically to describe a massacre or large-scale killing of people. The term is used in both literal and figurative senses throughout the Hebrew Bible.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, slaughtering animals was a common practice for both dietary and sacrificial purposes. The act of slaughtering was often associated with religious rituals, where animals were offered as sacrifices to God.

Additionally, the concept of slaughter or massacre was not uncommon in the context of warfare and divine judgment, as depicted in various biblical narratives.
