It can refer to physical breaking, such as the breaking of bones, or to more abstract forms of destruction, such as the collapse of a nation or the shattering of hope.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "sheber" would have been understood both in literal and metaphorical terms. Physical breakage, such as the breaking of pottery or bones, was a common occurrence and served as a vivid metaphor for more abstract forms of destruction. The Israelites, living in a world where physical and spiritual realities were closely intertwined, would have seen "sheber" as indicative of divine judgment or the consequences of sin. The breaking of covenants or the destruction of cities would have been seen as manifestations of "sheber."<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
