Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁחַס (shachas), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is understood to mean "to sprout" or "to grow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G393 (ἀναβλάστησις, anablastēsis): This Greek term refers to "sprouting again" or "regrowth," similar to the concept of "shachis" in Hebrew. • G2640 (καταλλαγή, katallagē): While primarily meaning "reconciliation," this term can metaphorically relate to the idea of restoration or renewal, akin to the regrowth of crops after a harvest. The concept of "shachis" serves as a reminder of the natural cycles ordained by God and the potential for renewal and provision even after a period of depletion. It underscores the importance of trusting in divine providence and the sustenance provided through the land. Usage: The word "shachis" is used in the context of agriculture, particularly in reference to the regrowth of crops that occurs after the main harvest has been gathered. This regrowth can be significant for providing additional food resources. Context: The term שָׁחִיס (shachis) appears in the context of agricultural practices in ancient Israel. It is specifically mentioned in the book of Amos, where it describes the regrowth of crops following the initial harvest. This regrowth, or "aftermath," was an important aspect of the agrarian lifestyle, as it provided an additional yield that could be used for sustenance or trade. The concept of "shachis" highlights the cyclical nature of agriculture and the dependence on the land's ability to regenerate and provide. In Amos 7:1, the prophet Amos uses the imagery of "shachis" to convey a message of impending judgment, illustrating how the natural order and cycles of growth can be disrupted by divine intervention. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as follows: "This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up."
