Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific connotation of "shagel." However, Greek terms related to sexual immorality or violence, such as "porneia" (G4202), may be considered in broader thematic studies.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "shagel" is used in the context of sexual violation or ravishment. It carries a strong connotation of force and violation, often implying a lack of consent and an act of aggression. This term is used in the context of severe moral and ethical violations, highlighting the gravity of the act.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, sexual purity and the protection of individuals from sexual violence were of paramount importance. The use of "shagel" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the serious view taken towards acts of sexual violence. Such acts were not only seen as personal violations but also as offenses against the community and God’s covenantal laws. The cultural context underscores the need for justice and protection for the vulnerable, particularly women, in a patriarchal society.
