It conveys a sense of dramatic change or reversal, typically involving the destruction or alteration of a previous state.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of overturning was often associated with divine intervention. Cities or nations that were "overturned" were typically seen as having been judged by a higher power. This reflects the belief in a sovereign God who actively engages in the affairs of humanity, bringing about justice and transformation according to His will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2015.htm">haphak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>stocks (instrument of punishment)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>prison* (1), stocks (3).<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">מַהְמֶּ֫כֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>stocks</b></font> or similar instrument of punishment (compelling <em>crooked</em> posture, or <em>distorting</em>), mentioned rather late;
