It describes the effect of a hot, dry wind or other natural phenomena that cause crops to wither and fail. This word is typically used to convey the idea of divine judgment or natural disaster affecting the land.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was the backbone of society, and the success of crops was crucial for survival. The Israelites were acutely aware of their dependence on favorable weather conditions for their harvests. Blight or scorching winds were seen as a direct threat to their livelihood and were often interpreted as signs of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of "shdephah" would have been a powerful reminder of the need for obedience to God's commandments to ensure His blessings on the land.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font
