Usage: The verb שָׁטַף (shataph) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often describing the action of water or other forces moving with intensity and power. It can refer to the physical act of flooding or washing, as well as metaphorically to describe overwhelming or conquering forces. Context: • The Hebrew verb שָׁטַף (shataph) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, illustrating both literal and figurative uses. It is often associated with the movement of water, such as in a flood or a stream that washes over the land. This imagery is used to convey the idea of cleansing or purifying, as well as the destructive power of water. • In a metaphorical sense, שָׁטַף can describe the rapid movement or overwhelming force of armies or other entities. For example, in the context of military conquest, it can depict the swift and overpowering advance of a conquering force. • The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides several instances where this verb is used. For example, in Isaiah 28:17, it is written, "I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will flood the hiding place." Here, שָׁטַף is translated as "flood," illustrating the overwhelming and cleansing nature of divine justice. • Another example is found in Daniel 11:40, where the verb is used to describe the king of the North's attack: "At the time of the end, the king of the South will engage him in battle, but the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots, horsemen, and many ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood." The imagery of a flood conveys the swift and unstoppable nature of the invasion.
