It appears in several passages throughout the Scriptures, often conveying themes of divine intervention, judgment, or the breaking of physical objects. The usage of "brake" is primarily found in older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version, but the concept remains relevant in modern translations like the Berean Standard Bible . 1. Divine Judgment and Intervention: The act of breaking is frequently associated with God's judgment or intervention in human affairs. For instance, in the context of divine retribution, God is depicted as breaking the power of the wicked or the strength of nations. In <a href="/psalms/46-9.htm">Psalm 46:9</a> , it is written, "He makes wars to cease throughout the earth; He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields in the fire." This passage illustrates God's sovereign power to dismantle instruments of war, symbolizing His ability to bring peace and justice. 2. Breaking of Covenants and Laws: The concept of breaking is also significant in the context of covenants and laws. In the Old Testament, the Israelites are often warned against breaking God's commandments. The breaking of the covenant is seen as a serious transgression that leads to divine punishment. In <a href="/jeremiah/31-32.htm">Jeremiah 31:32</a> , God speaks of a new covenant, "not like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them," declares the LORD. This highlights the gravity of breaking a divine covenant and the need for renewal and restoration. 3. Physical Breaking: The Bible also uses the term "brake" in a literal sense to describe the breaking of physical objects. In the narrative of the Exodus, Moses is described as breaking the tablets of the Law. <a href="/exodus/32-19.htm">Exodus 32:19</a> recounts, "As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain." This act symbolizes the breaking of the covenant by the Israelites through their idolatry. 4. Symbolic and Prophetic Breaking: Prophets in the Bible often use the imagery of breaking to convey messages from God. In <a href="/ezekiel/4.htm">Ezekiel 4:1-3</a> , the prophet is instructed to perform a symbolic act involving a clay tablet, representing the siege of Jerusalem. Such acts of breaking serve as powerful visual metaphors for impending judgment or the breaking of strongholds. 5. Restoration and Healing: While breaking often signifies judgment or destruction, the Bible also speaks of restoration and healing. In <a href="/psalms/147-3.htm">Psalm 147:3</a> , it is written, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." This verse reflects the compassionate nature of God, who restores what has been broken, offering hope and healing to those who turn to Him. In summary, the concept of "brake" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from divine judgment and the breaking of covenants to the physical and symbolic breaking of objects. It serves as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty, justice, and mercy throughout the biblical narrative.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
