Strong's Lexicon shud: To ruin, devastate, destroy Original Word: שׁוּד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for similar concepts of destruction or ruin is "ἀπόλλυμι" (apollymi), Strong's Greek #622, which also conveys the idea of perishing or being destroyed. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shud" primarily conveys the idea of destruction or devastation. It is used in contexts where something is laid waste or brought to ruin, often as a result of divine judgment or military conquest. The term can imply both physical destruction and metaphorical devastation, such as the ruin of a nation or the downfall of the wicked. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine retribution or the consequences of moral and spiritual failure. The Israelites understood that their covenant relationship with God included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which often manifested in the form of national calamities or personal ruin. The use of "shud" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this theological framework, where destruction serves as both a warning and a call to repentance.
