    DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: day of slaughter) a time of destructive judgment
    Glosses: day of condemnation
    Comments: The reference of the phrase ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς in {S:05900500500026} is the destructive judgment of God, but it is possible that σφαγῆς should be interpreted in a more literal sense of ‘destruction’ rather than mere condemnation.
