(prop. some form of שָׁחָה, shachah'', διαφθείρω ). This term is used in Scripture to signify the putrefaction of dead bodies (Psalms 16:10), the blemishes which rendered an animal unfit for sacrifice (Leviticus 22:25), sinful inclinations, habits, and practices, which defile and ruin men (Romans 8:21; 2 Peter 2:12; 2 Peter 2:19), everlasting ruin (Galatians 6:8), men in their mortal and imperfect state (1 Corinthians 15:42; 1 Corinthians 15:50).

MOUNT OF CORRUPTION (הִר הִמִּשְׁחַית, Sept. ὄρος τοῦ Μοσχίθ v. r. Μοσθάθ, Vulg. mons offensionis), a hill in the neighborhood of Jerusalem, where Solomon had established the worship of the Ammonitish deity Milcom, which Josiah overthrew (2 Kings 23:13). Tradition assigns the locality of the "Mount of Offence" to the eminence immediately south of the Mount of Olives (see Barclay, City of the Great King, p. 64 sq.; Stanley, Palest. p. 185, note). (See JERUSALEM).
