It is used to describe the goods or wealth that are seized by force, typically in the context of war or conquest. The word conveys the idea of taking possession of what once belonged to others, often as a result of divine judgment or military victory.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, plundering was a common practice following military victories. The spoils of war were considered a legitimate reward for the victors and were often distributed among the soldiers or used to enrich the conquering nation. In the biblical context, plundering could also be seen as an act of divine retribution, where God allowed or commanded His people to take possession of the wealth of their enemies as a form of judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8155.htm">shasas</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>booty, plunder<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>plunder (3), spoil (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">מְשִׁסָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>booty, plunder</b></font>;
