It can also imply a more general sense of killing or massacre, often used in contexts of judgment or warfare. The term is used to describe both literal and metaphorical acts of slaughter, emphasizing the severity and finality of the action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the act of slaughtering animals was a common and necessary practice for both sustenance and religious rituals. The process of slaughtering was often carried out by priests or designated individuals who were responsible for ensuring that the act was performed according to the laws and customs outlined in the Torah. The concept of "tebach" also extends to the idea of divine judgment, where God is depicted as executing justice through acts of destruction against the wicked.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2873.htm">tabach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>slaughtering, slaughter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>animal (1), food (1), slaughter (10).<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> I. <font class="hebrew2">טֶ֫בַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 34:6</sup> <font size="+1"><b>slaughtering, slaughter</b></font> — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ט</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/43-16.htm">Genesis 43:16</a> 6t.; <font class="hebrew2">טָ֑בַח</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-20.htm">Ezekiel 21:20</a> 3t.; suffix <font class="hebrew2">טִבְחָהּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/9-2.htm">Proverbs 9:2</a>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>slaughtering, slaughter</em>, of animals for food; as accusative of congnate meaning with verb after <font class="hebrew2">טָבַח</font> (q. v.) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/43-16.htm">Genesis 43:16</a> (J), <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/9-2.htm">Proverbs 9:2</a>; <font class="hebrew2">יוּבָ֑ל</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כַּשֶּׂה לַטּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/53-7.htm">Isaiah 53:7</a>, simile of suffering servant of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>; also <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/7-22.htm">Proverbs 7:22</a> simile of fatuousness of one following a strange woman, thoughtless of consequences; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יֵרְדוּ לַטּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/50-27.htm">Jeremiah 50:27</a> metaphor of Babylonian leaders, under figure of bullocks; so probably <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/48-15.htm">Jeremiah 48:15</a>, and perhaps <font class="hebrew2">תִּכְרָ֑עוּ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לַטּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/65-12.htm">Isaiah 65:12</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> in poetry figurative <em>slaughter</em>, to which the nations are given over by <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/34-2.htm">Isaiah 34:2</a>, specifically of Edom <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/34-6.htm">Isaiah 34:6</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">זֶבַח</font>; see <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ז</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>6</b></font>); of Israel <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-20.htm">Ezekiel 21:20</a>, as accusative of congnate meaning with verb after <font class="hebrew2">טָבַח</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-15.htm">Ezekiel 21:15</a>; of Ammon <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-33.htm">Ezekiel 21:33</a>. <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>beast, slaughter, slay, sore <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2873.htm">tabach</a>; properly, something slaughtered; hence, a beast (or meat, as butchered); abstr.
