It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe a force or agent of destruction, particularly in the context of divine judgment or the breaking of nations and powers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, tools for breaking and shattering were common in both everyday life and warfare. The imagery of a "shatterer" or "breaker" would have been vivid and powerful, symbolizing the complete and utter destruction of an object or entity. This metaphor is used in the Bible to convey the overwhelming power of God's judgment against nations or individuals who oppose His will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5310.htm">naphats</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a war-club<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>war-club (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַמֵּץ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>war-club</b></font> (literally <em>a shatterer</em>); — <font class="hebrew2">מַמֵּץאַֿתָּה לִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/51-20.htm">Jeremiah 51:20</a> <em>a war-club art thou to me</em> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> addressing Babylon, compare Gf Gie). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>battle ax <p>From <a href="/hebrew/5310.htm">naphats</a>; a smiter, i.e. A war club -- battle ax. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5310.htm">naphats</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מַפֵּץ־ מפץ־ map·pêṣ- mappêṣ- mappetz<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/jeremiah/51-20.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Jeremiah 51:20</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/51.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> מַפֵּץ־ </b> אַתָּ֣ה לִ֔י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/jeremiah/51.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">[He says], You are My war-club,</span> [My] weapon<br><a href="/kjvs/jeremiah/51.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">Thou [art] my battle axe</span> [and] weapons<br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/51-20.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">are my war-club</span> you weapon<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4661.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4661.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4661<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/mappetz_4661.htm">map·pêṣ- — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4660.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4660"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4660" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4662.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4662"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4662" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
