Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root פוק (puk), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of stumbling or tottering.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of a stumbling-block in the Hebrew Bible is closely related to the Greek term σκάνδαλον (skandalon), Strong's Greek Number 4625, which also denotes a trap or snare that causes one to fall into sin or error. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe similar spiritual and moral pitfalls, reinforcing the continuity of this theme across both Testaments. Usage: The term פוּקָה (pukah) is used in the context of causing someone to stumble or fall, both physically and metaphorically. It is often associated with moral or spiritual stumbling, where an individual is led into sin or error. Context: • The Hebrew term פוּקָה (pukah) appears in the context of causing someone to stumble, which can be understood both in a literal and figurative sense. In the Hebrew Bible, stumbling-blocks are often used as metaphors for temptations or challenges that lead individuals away from righteousness. The concept of a stumbling-block is significant in biblical theology, as it highlights the moral and spiritual dangers that believers must navigate. The term underscores the importance of vigilance and moral integrity, warning against actions or influences that could lead oneself or others into sin. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) reflects this understanding in its translation, emphasizing the need for caution and discernment in the believer's walk.
