Usage: The Hebrew word "pattish" refers to a hammer, a tool used for pounding or striking. In the biblical context, it is often used metaphorically to describe the power and impact of God's word or actions. The hammer symbolizes strength, authority, and the ability to break or shape. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the hammer was a common tool used by blacksmiths and craftsmen for shaping metal and constructing various items.
