Strong's Lexicon shabar: To break, shatter, destroy Original Word: שָׁבַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4937 (συντρίβω, syntribo): To crush, break in pieces - G4486 (ῥήγνυμι, rhēgnumi): To break, burst Usage: The Hebrew verb "shabar" primarily means to break or shatter. It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to describe the physical breaking of objects, the breaking of nations or armies, and metaphorically, the breaking of the human spirit or heart. The term conveys a sense of destruction or disintegration, often as a result of divine judgment or human action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of breaking was significant both physically and spiritually. Physically, breaking objects like pottery or weapons symbolized defeat or the end of usefulness. Spiritually, a "broken" heart or spirit was seen as a state of humility and repentance before God. The act of breaking was often associated with divine intervention, where God would "break" the power of oppressive nations or the pride of individuals to bring about His purposes.
