## Meaning

### OpenScriptures lexical index

din [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1513/7612/#m1)

### Brown–Driver–Briggs 1906

שֵׁאת: n.f. devastation [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1513/7612/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.f. doubtful word; perhaps (for\* שֶׁאֶת) din of battle (= שָׁאוֹן); Thes al. devastation, cf. שְׁאִיָּה; either meaning suits הַשּׁ׳ La 3:47 (‖ הַשָּׁ֑בֶר; but WeComp. Hex. 2, 351, from II. שׁוא, desolation); contr. (according to Thes and most) שֵׁת, in בְּנֵי שֵׁת Nu 24:17 (J) sons of (battle-)din (warriors, = בְּנֵי שָׁאוֹן in ‖ Je 48:45); Vrss take שֵׁת here as n.pr.; Gray proposes שֵׂת = שְׂאֵת, pride, or reading as Je, cf. WeComp. 351.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (4 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 0 with the glosses (2 candidates)
