Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of cutting off or cutting down in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms in the Septuagint and New Testament that convey similar meanings. While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, Greek terms such as ἀποκόπτω (apokoptō • to cut off) and ἐκκόπτω (ekkoptō • to cut out, cut down) can be seen as analogous in certain contexts where the idea of removal or destruction is conveyed. Usage: The verb כָּסַח (kasach) is used in the context of cutting off or cutting down, often referring to the removal or destruction of something. Context: The Hebrew verb כָּסַח (kasach) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of cutting off or cutting down. This term is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe the act of removing or destroying something, whether it be physical objects, people, or abstract concepts like pride or power. The action of cutting off can imply a decisive and often violent removal, suggesting a complete and thorough separation from the original state or condition. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of כָּסַח is seen in contexts where the emphasis is on the thoroughness and finality of the action. For example, in the context of divine judgment or the removal of obstacles, the term underscores the totality of the action being described. The verb is not frequently used, which highlights its specific and intense connotation when it does appear.
