Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2662 (καταπατέω, katapateo): This Greek term means "to trample down" or "to tread underfoot," which aligns with the aggressive and forceful connotations of שׁוּף. • G2918 (κλάω, klao): While primarily meaning "to break" or "to break in pieces," this term can also convey the idea of a forceful action, similar to the overwhelming aspect of שׁוּף. In summary, שׁוּף (shuph) is a Hebrew verb that captures the essence of sudden, forceful actions, often in contexts of conflict or overwhelming power. Its usage in the Hebrew Bible underscores themes of enmity and divine power, resonating with similar concepts found in corresponding Greek terms.

Context: • The verb שׁוּף (shuph) is notably used in Genesis 3:15, where it describes the enmity between the serpent and the woman, and between their respective offspring. The passage reads: "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel" (BSB). In this context, שׁוּף is translated as "crush" and "strike," indicating a mutual, aggressive confrontation. • The term is also found in Job 9:17, where it is used to describe the overwhelming force of God's actions: "For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause" (BSB).
