Berean Strong's Lexicon shasas: To plunder, to spoil Original Word: שָׁסַס Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shasas Pronunciation: shah-SAS Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-sas') Definition: To plunder, to spoil Meaning: to plunder Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of plundering in the Hebrew Bible can be related to the Greek verb "διαρπάζω" (diarpazo - Strong's Greek 1283), which also means to plunder or to seize. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shasas" primarily means to plunder or to spoil. It conveys the action of taking goods by force, often in the context of warfare or conflict. This term is used to describe the act of stripping an enemy of their possessions, typically after a victory in battle. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, plundering was a common practice following military victories. It was a means of acquiring wealth and resources, as well as a demonstration of dominance over defeated foes. The spoils of war often included livestock, valuables, and captives. This practice was not only a means of economic gain but also served as a symbolic act of triumph and subjugation.
