Strong's Lexicon debach: Sacrifice, offering Original Word: דֶּבַח Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: debach Pronunciation: deh-bakh Phonetic Spelling: (deb-akh') Definition: Sacrifice, offering Meaning: a sacrifice Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַח (dābach), meaning "to sacrifice" or "to slaughter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is θυσία (thusia), which also means "sacrifice" or "offering." Usage: The term "debach" refers to a sacrifice or offering, typically involving the slaughter of an animal as an act of worship or atonement. In the Hebrew Bible, sacrifices were central to the religious practices of the Israelites, serving as a means to express devotion, seek forgiveness, and maintain a covenant relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sacrifices were a fundamental aspect of worship and were conducted according to specific laws and rituals outlined in the Torah. The practice of offering sacrifices was not unique to Israel but was common in many ancient Near Eastern cultures. However, the Israelites' sacrificial system was distinct in its monotheistic focus and its role in the covenant relationship with Yahweh. Sacrifices were offered at the Tabernacle and later at the Temple in Jerusalem, and they included burnt offerings, peace offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings, each with its own purpose and significance.
