It is often used in the context of military conquest or divine judgment, where cities or lands are devastated as a result of warfare or divine retribution. The term implies a thorough and complete destruction, leaving the area desolate.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, cities and lands were frequently subject to invasions and conquests. The act of "sadad" would have been a familiar concept, as it was common for victorious armies to devastate the lands of their enemies, both as a means of punishment and as a strategy to prevent future resistance. This term also reflects the theological understanding of divine judgment, where God uses foreign nations as instruments of His wrath against the unfaithfulness of His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to harrow<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>harrow (3).<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">שָׂדַד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Pi`el harrow</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">שׂדד</font> <em>id.</em> Ecclus 38:25 margin 26; compare Assyrian <i><em>šadâdu</em></i>, <em>draw</em>, <em>drag</em>); — <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">יְשַׂדֵּד</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/39-10.htm">Job 39:10</a> (of beast); human subject, with accusative of ground <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/28-24.htm">Isaiah 28:24</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">יִפְתַּח</font>, "" <font class="hebrew2">יַחֲרשׁ</font>); <font class="hebrew2">יְשַׂדֶּדלֿוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/hosea/10-11.htm">Hosea 10:11</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">יַחֲרוֺשׁ</font>; figurative of Jacob). <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>break clods, harrow <p>A primitive root; to abrade, i.e. Harrow a field -- break clods, harrow. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וִֽישַׂדֵּ֖ד וישדד יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד יְשַׂדֶּד־ ישדד ישדד־ visadDed wî·śad·dêḏ wîśaddêḏ yə·śad·dêḏ yə·śad·deḏ- yesadDed yəśaddêḏ yəśaddeḏ-<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/job/39-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 39:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/39.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עֲבֹת֑וֹ אִם־ <b> יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד </b> עֲמָקִ֣ים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/job/39.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Or <span class="itali">will he harrow</span> the valleys<br><a href="/kjvs/job/39.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> in the furrow?
