Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the verb βρύχω (brýchō), meaning "to gnash" or "to grind."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of gnashing teeth is also found in the Old Testament, though not directly linked to a single Hebrew word equivalent to βρυγμός. However, similar expressions of anguish and anger can be seen in passages like Psalm 112:10, where the wicked "gnash their teeth" in frustration. The Hebrew verb חָרַק (charak) is often used in these contexts, conveying a similar sense of grinding or gnashing. Usage: In the New Testament, βρυγμός is used to describe the gnashing of teeth as a reaction to extreme distress or torment, particularly in eschatological contexts. Context: The term βρυγμός appears in several passages within the New Testament, primarily in the context of judgment and the final separation of the righteous from the wicked. It is often paired with weeping, as seen in the phrase "weeping and gnashing of teeth," which signifies a state of utter despair and regret. This expression is used by Jesus in the Gospels to describe the fate of those who are cast out from the kingdom of God.
