Strong's Lexicon tsamath: To cut off, destroy, annihilate Original Word: צָמַת Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: tsamath Pronunciation: tsaw-math' Phonetic Spelling: (tsaw-math') Definition: To cut off, destroy, annihilate Meaning: to extirpate Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of destruction or cutting off can be related to Greek terms such as ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi - Strong's 622), which means to destroy or perish. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsamath" primarily conveys the idea of cutting off or destroying completely. It is often used in contexts where something is brought to an end or utterly removed. The term can imply a decisive and final action, often associated with divine judgment or the eradication of evil. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of cutting off or destroying was significant in both military and religious settings. The Israelites understood such actions as part of God's sovereign will, often seen in the context of divine retribution or purification. The complete destruction of enemies or sinful practices was sometimes necessary to maintain the holiness and distinctiveness of the Israelite community.
