It often refers to the total and irreversible end of something, emphasizing the thoroughness of the destruction. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe divine judgment or the complete eradication of enemies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of total destruction was often associated with divine judgment and the fulfillment of God's justice. The Israelites believed that God, as the ultimate judge, had the authority to bring about complete destruction as a form of punishment for sin and rebellion. This concept is reflected in various biblical narratives where God commands the destruction of nations or peoples who oppose His will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6789.htm">tsamath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>completion, finality<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>permanently (2).<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">צְמִיתֻת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>completion, finality</b></font>, only in phrase <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לִצ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לַצּ</font> = <em>in per petuity</em>, of alienation of land;
