It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical act of cutting down trees or other objects, as well as metaphorically to describe the destruction or removal of people or nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the act of cutting down or destroying was often associated with divine judgment or warfare. Trees and other natural elements were sometimes used symbolically to represent strength or stability, and their destruction could signify the downfall of a person, city, or nation. The agricultural society of ancient Israel would have been familiar with the physical act of cutting down trees for various purposes, including clearing land for farming or building.<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 cut off or away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cut (1), cut down (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">כָּסַח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cut off or away</b></font>, a plant (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
