Berean Strong's Lexicon
maabad: Destruction, Ruin

Original Word: מַאֲבַד
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: maabad
Pronunciation: mah-ah-bahd
Phonetic Spelling: (mah-bawd')
Definition: Destruction, Ruin
Meaning: an act

Word Origin: Derived from the root אָבַד (avad), meaning "to perish" or "to destroy."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of destruction is ἀπώλεια (apoleia), Strong's Greek 684, which also conveys the idea of ruin or loss.

Usage: The term "maabad" refers to a state or place of destruction or ruin. It is used to describe the outcome of divine judgment or the consequences of sin and disobedience. The word conveys a sense of total loss or devastation, often in a spiritual or moral context.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of destruction was closely tied to the covenant relationship with God. Obedience to God's laws brought blessings, while disobedience led to curses, including destruction. The idea of "maabad" would have been understood as a severe consequence of turning away from God, reflecting the seriousness of maintaining faithfulness to the covenant.
