Strong's Lexicon mekittah: Crushing, destruction Original Word: מְכִתָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּתַת (kathath), meaning "to crush" or "to grind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of destruction or crushing is συντριβή (syntribē), which also conveys the idea of breaking or shattering. Usage: The term "mekittah" refers to the act or state of crushing or destruction. It is used in the context of physical destruction or the breaking down of something into smaller parts. The word conveys a sense of thoroughness in the act of destruction, often implying a complete and utter ruin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of crushing or destruction was often associated with divine judgment or the consequences of sin. The imagery of crushing was used to describe the fate of nations or individuals who opposed God's will. The agricultural society of ancient Israel would have been familiar with the process of crushing grain to produce flour, which may have influenced the metaphorical use of the term in describing judgment or defeat.
