Shed, Shedding
Shed, Shedding
The three Hebrew words, naghar, sm or sum and shaphakh, translated shed in many Old Testament passages, always mean a pouring out, and in nearly every case point to the effusion of blood (Gen 9:6; Num 35:33; Deu 21:7; 2Sa 20:10; 1Ch 22:8; Pro 1:16, etc.). The Greek words , ekcheo, and , ekchuno, have precisely the same specific meaning (Mat 23:35; Mat 26:28; Mar 14:24; Luk 11:50; Heb 9:22; Rev 16:6). Sometimes they are tropically used in reference to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Act 2:33 the King James Version; Tit 3:6), and to the outpouring of the love of God in the believer’s heart (Rom 5:5).
