Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טָבַח (tabach), meaning "to slaughter" or "to butcher."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament for טִבְחָה, related concepts can be found in terms such as θυσία (thusia, Strong's Greek 2378), meaning "sacrifice," and σφάζω (sphazo, Strong's Greek 4969), meaning "to slay" or "to slaughter," which capture similar themes of sacrifice and slaughter in the context of worship and judgment.

Usage: The word טִבְחָה is used in the context of describing animals that have been slaughtered, often for sacrificial purposes or as part of a feast. It can also imply the act of butchery itself.

Context: • The Hebrew word טִבְחָה appears in the Old Testament to describe animals that have been slaughtered, particularly in the context of sacrifices or feasts. This term is closely associated with the ritualistic and communal aspects of ancient Hebrew culture, where the slaughtering of animals was a significant religious and social activity.
• In 1 Samuel 25:11, the word is used in the context of Nabal's feast, where he refuses to share his provisions, including the meat of the animals he has slaughtered, with David's men: "Should I take my bread and water and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to these men whose origin I do not know?"
• The term is also found in the context of divine judgment, where the imagery of slaughter is used metaphorically to describe the destruction of the wicked. This usage underscores the severity and totality of divine retribution.
• The concept of טִבְחָה is integral to understanding the sacrificial system in the Hebrew Bible, where the slaughtering of animals was a central act of worship and atonement. It reflects the ancient Israelites' understanding of life, death, and the sacredness of offerings made to God.
