Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָסַס (rasas), which means to moisten or to drip. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for רָסִיס, related concepts can be found in Greek terms that describe destruction or ruin, such as καταστροφή (katastrophē • Strong's Greek 2692) for "overthrow" or "destruction," and terms related to dew or moisture, such as δρόσος (drosos • Strong's Greek 1006) for "dew." These Greek terms capture similar themes of fragmentation and renewal found in the Hebrew רָסִיס. Usage: The word רָסִיס is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both physical and metaphorical states of fragmentation or ruin, as well as the delicate and refreshing quality of dew. It appears in contexts that emphasize destruction or desolation, as well as in poetic imagery that highlights the beauty and transience of dew. Context: רָסִיס (rasis) is a Hebrew noun that appears in the Old Testament, capturing the dual imagery of destruction and delicacy. In its usage, רָסִיס can refer to the physical breaking or shattering of objects, symbolizing ruin or devastation. This is evident in passages where the term is used to describe the aftermath of divine judgment or the consequences of human actions leading to desolation. Conversely, רָסִיס also evokes the image of dew-drops, which are small, delicate, and transient. This imagery is often employed in poetic and prophetic literature to convey themes of renewal, purity, and the fleeting nature of life. The duality of רָסִיס reflects the broader biblical themes of judgment and redemption, destruction and renewal, underscoring the complexity of the human experience in relation to the divine.
