Strong's Lexicon tsemithuth: Destruction, annihilation, extermination Original Word: צְמִיתֻת Word Origin: Derived from the root צָמַת (tsamat), meaning "to cut off" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar sense of destruction is ἀπώλεια (apōleia), Strong's Greek 684, which also denotes destruction or ruin. Usage: The term "tsemithuth" is used to convey a sense of complete destruction or annihilation. It often refers to the total and irreversible end of something, emphasizing the thoroughness of the destruction. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe divine judgment or the complete eradication of enemies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of total destruction was often associated with divine judgment and the fulfillment of God's justice. The Israelites believed that God, as the ultimate judge, had the authority to bring about complete destruction as a form of punishment for sin and rebellion. This concept is reflected in various biblical narratives where God commands the destruction of nations or peoples who oppose His will.
