It conveys the idea of being pushed away or cast down, typically as a result of sin or disobedience to God's commandments. The word can also imply a stumbling block or an obstacle that leads to one's downfall.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being cast down or experiencing ruin was often associated with divine judgment. The Israelites believed that obedience to God's laws would lead to blessings, while disobedience would result in punishment and ruin. The term "midcheh" reflects this understanding, emphasizing the consequences of turning away from God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1760.htm">dachah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>means or occasion of stumbling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ruin (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">מִדְחֶה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>means or occasion of stumbling</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/26-28.htm">Proverbs 26:28</a> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מֶּהחָֿלָק יַעֲשֶׂה מ</font> ("" <font class="hebrew2">לְשׁוֺןשֶֿׁקֶר</font> <font class="hebrew2">יִשְׂנָא דַכָּו</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>ruin <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1760.htm">dachah</a>; overthrow -- ruin. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1760.htm">dachah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מִדְחֶֽה׃ מדחה׃ miḏ·ḥeh midCheh miḏḥeh<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/proverbs/26-28.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Proverbs 26:28</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/26.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">חָ֝לָ֗ק יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה <b> מִדְחֶֽה׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/proverbs/26.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> mouth works <span class="itali">ruin.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/proverbs/26.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> mouth worketh <span class="itali">ruin.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/26-28.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> flattering works <span class="itali">ruin</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4072.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4072.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4072<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/midcheh_4072.htm">miḏ·ḥeh — 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/4071.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4071"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4071" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4073.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4073"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4073" /></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>
