It is often used in the context of physical destruction or moral corruption. The term can refer to the act of ruining something physically, such as land or objects, or it can denote moral decay and the perversion of ethical standards. In the biblical narrative, "shachat" is frequently used to describe the wickedness of humanity and the resulting divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of destruction was not only physical but also moral and spiritual. The Israelites understood that moral corruption could lead to societal decay and divine retribution. The use of "shachat" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where disobedience and corruption lead to judgment and destruction. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine justice and order.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/7819.htm">shachat</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>beat <p>A primitive root (identical with <a href="/hebrew/7819.htm">shachat</a> through the idea of striking);
