It can describe the act of stumbling or faltering, whether due to physical exhaustion, moral failure, or spiritual weakness. The term is used to depict a lack of strength or stability, leading to a fall or collapse.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical strength and moral integrity were highly valued, often seen as blessings from God. The concept of stumbling or failing, as expressed by "chashal," would have been understood not only in a literal sense but also metaphorically, representing a departure from righteousness or divine favor. The Israelites, living in a challenging environment, would have been acutely aware of the physical and spiritual implications of weakness.<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 shatter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>stragglers (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">חָשַׁל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>shatter</b></font> (Biblical Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">חֲשַׁל</font> <em>shatter</em>; Late Hebrew Pi`el, "" <font class="hebrew2">משׁבר</font>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb036501.gif"> <em>forge</em> a metal, Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb036502.gif"> <em>drive</em> cattle <em>violently</em>; Assyrian <i><em>—ašâlu</em></i>, <em>shatter</em>, <em>destroy</em> Zim<sup>BP 12</sup> Dl<sup>Pr 42</sup>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Niph`al</b></font> <em>Participle</em> figurative <font class="hebrew2">כָּלֿ</font> <font class="hebrew2">הַנֶּחֱשָׁלִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/25-18.htm">Deuteronomy 25:18</a> <em>all the shattered ones</em>, i.e. those broken down, worn out, followed by <font class="hebrew2">וְאַתָּה עָיֵף וְיָגֵעַ</font>; others think = <font class="hebrew2">חלשׁ</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>feeble <p>A primitive root; to make (intrans.
