Strong's Lexicon shachis or sachish: Destruction, ruin, corruption Original Word: שָׁחִיס Word Origin: Derived from a root that implies destruction or corruption. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) for similar concepts of destruction or ruin is "φθορά" (phthora), which also conveys the idea of corruption or decay. Usage: The term "shachis" or "sachish" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of destruction or corruption. It often conveys the idea of something being laid waste or ruined, either physically or morally. The word can be used to describe the devastation of cities, the moral decay of individuals or societies, or the ultimate ruin that comes as a consequence of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of destruction was often associated with divine judgment. The Israelites understood that their covenant relationship with God included blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, which often manifested as destruction or ruin. This understanding is reflected in the use of "shachis" or "sachish" in the Hebrew Scriptures, where it frequently appears in prophetic literature warning of impending judgment.
