Topical Encyclopedia

The term "breaketh" is an archaic form of the verb "break," often found in older translations of the Bible. It signifies the act of breaking, shattering, or causing something to come apart. In the context of Scripture, "breaketh" is used both literally and metaphorically, illustrating physical destruction as well as spiritual or moral disruption.

Literal Usage

In its literal sense, "breaketh" is used to describe the physical act of breaking objects or barriers. For example, in the context of God's power over creation, the psalmist declares:

· "The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon." (Psalm 29:5)

This passage highlights the might and authority of God's voice, which is so powerful that it can shatter the mighty cedars of Lebanon, a symbol of strength and grandeur in the ancient Near East.

Metaphorical Usage

Metaphorically, "breaketh" is employed to describe the breaking of covenants, laws, or spiritual states. It often conveys the idea of transgression or the violation of divine commandments. In the prophetic literature, the breaking of God's covenant by His people is a recurring theme:

· "For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, 'See not'; and to the prophets, 'Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits.'" (Isaiah 30:9-10)

Here, the breaking of God's law is depicted as a willful act of rebellion, where the people reject the truth and seek falsehoods instead.

Spiritual and Moral Implications

The concept of "breaketh" extends to the spiritual and moral realms, where it signifies the breaking of one's spirit or the contrition of the heart. In the Psalms, a broken spirit is seen as a prerequisite for true repentance and humility before God:

· "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise." (Psalm 51:17)

This verse underscores the importance of inner transformation and the acknowledgment of one's sinfulness as essential to receiving God's mercy and forgiveness.

Divine Judgment and Restoration

The act of breaking is also associated with divine judgment, where God breaks the power of the wicked or the pride of nations. However, it is important to note that God's breaking is often followed by restoration and healing. The prophet Jeremiah speaks of God's ability to both break and restore:

· "See, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might." (Jeremiah 49:35)

Yet, God also promises restoration and hope for those who turn back to Him, demonstrating His mercy and faithfulness.

In summary, "breaketh" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from the literal breaking of objects to the metaphorical breaking of spiritual and moral states. It serves as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty, the consequences of sin, and the hope of redemption through repentance and faith.
