Strong's Lexicon shataph: To overflow, to wash away, to inundate, to flood Original Word: שָׁטַף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2627 (kataklysmos): Often used in the New Testament to describe the flood in Noah's time, carrying a similar connotation of overwhelming destruction. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shataph" primarily conveys the idea of overflowing or flooding. It is used to describe the action of water overwhelming a space, often with destructive connotations. The term can also imply washing away or sweeping away, indicating a forceful and thorough removal or cleansing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, water was both a life-giving and destructive force. While essential for agriculture and survival, floods could devastate communities, destroy crops, and alter landscapes. The imagery of flooding is often used in the Bible to symbolize overwhelming circumstances, divine judgment, or purification. Understanding the dual nature of water in this context helps to appreciate the depth of the metaphorical use of "shataph."
