Strong's Lexicon ratash: To trample, to crush, to tread down Original Word: רָתַשׁ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ratash Pronunciation: rah-tash Phonetic Spelling: (raw-tash') Definition: To trample, to crush, to tread down Meaning: to dash down Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "πατέω" (pateo), which also means to tread or trample. This term appears in the New Testament, such as in Luke 10:19, where Jesus gives His disciples authority to "trample on serpents and scorpions." Usage: The Hebrew verb "ratash" conveys the action of trampling or crushing underfoot. It is often used metaphorically to describe the act of subduing or defeating an enemy, as well as the destruction of something that is considered worthless or insignificant. The term implies a forceful and decisive action, often associated with judgment or conquest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of trampling or crushing was a common metaphor for victory and dominance. Kings and warriors were often depicted as trampling their enemies underfoot, symbolizing their power and authority. This imagery is consistent with the biblical portrayal of God's sovereignty and His ability to subdue nations and peoples who oppose His will.
