It is used to describe the process of killing an animal in accordance with specific religious laws and practices, often for the purpose of offering it as a sacrifice to God. This term underscores the importance of following divine instructions in the sacrificial system established in the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the practice of shchiytah was central to the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah. The Israelites were commanded to offer sacrifices as a means of atonement, thanksgiving, and worship. The process of shchiytah was not only a physical act but also a spiritual one, symbolizing the worshiper's devotion and obedience to God. The meticulous regulations surrounding the practice ensured that the sacrifices were conducted in a manner that was pleasing to God and reflective of His holiness.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שְׁחִיטָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>act of slaying</b></font>; — construct <font class="hebrew2">שְׁחִיטַת הַמְּסָחִים</font>2Chronicles 30:17. <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>killing <p>From <a href="/hebrew/7819.htm">shachat</a>; slaughter -- killing. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7819.htm">shachat</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>שְׁחִיטַ֣ת שחיטת šə·ḥî·ṭaṯ šəḥîṭaṯ shechiTat<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/2_chronicles/30-17.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Chronicles 30:17</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְהַלְוִיִּ֞ם עַל־ <b> שְׁחִיטַ֣ת </b> הַפְּסָחִ֗ים לְכֹל֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/2_chronicles/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> [were] over <span class="itali">the slaughter</span> of the Passover<br><a href="/kjvs/2_chronicles/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> therefore the Levites <span class="itali">had the charge of the killing</span> of the passovers<br><a href="/interlinear/2_chronicles/30-17.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the Levites over <span class="itali">the slaughter</span> of the Passover everyone<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7821.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7821.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7821<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/shechitat_7821.htm">šə·ḥî·ṭaṯ — 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/7820.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7820"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7820" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7821a.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7821a"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7821a" /></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>
