Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concepts can be found in words like συντριβή (syntribē - G4938), meaning "crushing" or "breaking," and καταστροφή (katastrophē - G2692), meaning "overthrow" or "destruction." Usage: The term "Qattath" is used to convey the idea of crushing or destruction, often in the context of divine judgment or the breaking down of something. It reflects a state of being broken or destroyed, either physically or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of crushing or destruction was often associated with divine retribution or judgment. The Israelites understood that their covenant relationship with God included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which could manifest as destruction or calamity. The imagery of crushing was also common in agricultural contexts, such as the crushing of grain or grapes, symbolizing both judgment and the process of purification or refinement.
