It is used to describe the physical breaking or destruction of objects, often in a violent or forceful manner. The term conveys a sense of complete and utter destruction, leaving nothing intact.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of breaking or shattering was often associated with divine judgment or the consequences of disobedience. The imagery of something being broken into pieces was a powerful metaphor for the totality of destruction that could befall individuals or nations that turned away from God's commandments. This concept is reflected in various biblical narratives where God’s judgment is depicted as a force that shatters the pride and strength of the wicked.<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 driving storm<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cloudburst (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">נֶ֫פֶץ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>driving storm</b></font> (literally <em>bursting</em> of clouds, Che<sup>Comm</sup>.), <font class="hebrew2">וָזֶרֶם וְאֶבֶן בָּרָד</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">נ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/3-30.htm">Isaiah 3:30</a> (theoph.). <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>scattering <p>From <a href="/hebrew/5310.htm">naphats</a>; a storm (as dispersing) -- scattering. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5310.htm">naphats</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>נֶ֥פֶץ נפץ ne·p̄eṣ Nefetz nep̄eṣ<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/isaiah/30-30.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 30:30</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֵ֣שׁ אוֹכֵלָ֑ה <b> נֶ֥פֶץ </b> וָזֶ֖רֶם וְאֶ֥בֶן</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> fire <span class="itali">In cloudburst,</span> downpour<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> fire, <span class="itali">[with] scattering,</span> and tempest,<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-30.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> fire of a consuming <span class="itali">cloudburst</span> downpour stones<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5311.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5311.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5311<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/nefetz_5311.htm">ne·p̄eṣ — 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/5310b.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5310b"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5310b" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5312.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5312"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5312" /></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>
