It conveys the idea of a hidden danger or a situation that can lead to one's downfall.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, pits and snares were commonly used for hunting animals or capturing enemies. The imagery of a pit or trap is frequently employed in the Hebrew Bible to symbolize the perils and hidden dangers that can ensnare individuals, both physically and spiritually. This metaphor would have been readily understood by an agrarian society familiar with the use of such devices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6354.htm">pachath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a boring or eating out<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>eating away (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">מְּחֶ֫תֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a boring or eating out</b></font>; — <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13-55.htm">Leviticus 13:55</a>, of leprous decay in garment. <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>fret inward <p>From the same as <a href="/hebrew/6354.htm">pachath</a>; a hole (by mildew in a garment) -- fret inward. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6354.htm">pachath</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>פְּחֶ֣תֶת פחתת pə·ḥe·ṯeṯ peChetet pəḥeṯeṯ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/leviticus/13-55.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Leviticus 13:55</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בָּאֵ֖שׁ תִּשְׂרְפֶ֑נּוּ <b> פְּחֶ֣תֶת </b> הִ֔וא בְּקָרַחְתּ֖וֹ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/leviticus/13.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> it in the fire, <span class="itali">whether an eating away</span> has produced bareness<br><a href="/kjvs/leviticus/13.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> it in the fire; <span class="itali">it [is] fret</span> inward, [whether] it [be] bare within<br><a href="/interlinear/leviticus/13-55.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the fire shall burn <span class="itali">an eating</span> he the top<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6356.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6356.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6356<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/pechetet_6356.htm">pə·ḥe·ṯeṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6355.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6355"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6355" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6357.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6357"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6357" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
