Strong's Lexicon eidólothutos: Sacrificed to idols Original Word: εἰδωλόθυτον Word Origin: From εἴδωλον (eidolon, meaning "idol") and a derivative of θύω (thuo, meaning "to sacrifice") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "eidólothutos," the concept of food offered to idols can be related to the Hebrew term for idols, such as פֶּסֶל (pesel, Strong's H6459). Usage: The term "eidólothutos" refers to food or meat that has been offered in sacrifice to idols. In the New Testament, it is often used in discussions about whether Christians should eat such food, which was a common practice in the Greco-Roman world where meat from sacrifices was sold in markets. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, it was customary to offer sacrifices to various gods and idols. The meat from these sacrifices was often consumed in religious feasts or sold in the marketplace. For early Christians, particularly those from a Jewish background, eating such meat posed a significant ethical and spiritual dilemma. The issue was not just about dietary laws but also about association with pagan worship and the potential stumbling block it could present to other believers.
