Strong's Lexicon raciyc: Oppressor, tyrant Original Word: רָצִיץ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: raciyc Pronunciation: rah-TSEETS Phonetic Spelling: (raw-sees') Definition: Oppressor, tyrant Meaning: dripping to pieces, a ruin, a dew-drop Word Origin: From the root רָצַץ (ratsats), meaning "to crush" or "to oppress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "raciyc," the concept of oppression is addressed in the New Testament with terms like "καταδυναστεύω" (katadynasteuō - Strong's Greek 2616), meaning "to oppress" or "to dominate." Usage: The term "raciyc" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote an oppressor or a tyrant, someone who exerts harsh control or domination over others. It conveys the idea of someone who crushes or subjugates others through force or authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of an oppressor was well understood, as the Israelites themselves experienced oppression under various foreign powers, such as the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The term "raciyc" would have resonated with the Israelites as they recalled their history of being subjected to harsh rulers and tyrants. The biblical narrative often contrasts the oppressive rulers with the just and righteous leadership that God desires for His people. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
