Berean Strong's Lexicon nephets: Fragment, shattering, breaking Original Word: נֶפֶץ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: nephets Pronunciation: NEH-fets Phonetic Spelling: (neh'-fets) Definition: Fragment, shattering, breaking Meaning: a storm Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַץ (naphats), meaning "to shatter" or "to break in pieces." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nephets," the concept of shattering or breaking is captured in Greek by words such as συντρίβω (syntribo, Strong's G4937), meaning "to crush" or "to break in pieces." Usage: The Hebrew word "nephets" refers to the act or result of shattering or breaking into pieces. It is used to describe the physical breaking or destruction of objects, often in a violent or forceful manner. The term conveys a sense of complete and utter destruction, leaving nothing intact. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of breaking or shattering was often associated with divine judgment or the consequences of disobedience. The imagery of something being broken into pieces was a powerful metaphor for the totality of destruction that could befall individuals or nations that turned away from God's commandments. This concept is reflected in various biblical narratives where God’s judgment is depicted as a force that shatters the pride and strength of the wicked.
