Shed Shedding (ISBE)
DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD
The three Hebrew words, nāghar , sı̄m or sūm and shāphakh , translated "shed" in many Old Testament passages, always mean a "pouring out," and in nearly every case point to the effusion of blood ( Genesis 9:6; Numbers 35:33; Deuteronomy 21:7; 2 Samuel 20:10; 1 Chronicles 22:8; Proverbs 1:16 , etc.). The Greek words ἐκχέω , ekchéō , and έκχύω , ekchúnō , have precisely the same specific meaning (Matthew 23:35; Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:24; Luke 11:50; Hebrews 9:22; Revelation 16:6 ). Sometimes they are tropically used in reference to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:33 the King James Version; Titus 3:6 ), and to the outpouring of the love of God in the believer's heart (Romans 5:5 ).
