Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb κρεμάννυμι (kremánnumi, meaning "to hang" or "to suspend").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκκρεμάννυμι, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe hanging or suspension, such as תָּלָה (talah, Strong's Hebrew 8518), which means "to hang" or "to suspend." This Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament in contexts involving the hanging of individuals or objects, often in judicial or sacrificial scenarios.

Usage: The term ἐκκρεμάννυμι is used in the context of hanging or suspending an object from a particular point. It is a verb that describes the action of something being hung out or suspended.

Context: The Greek verb ἐκκρεμάννυμι appears in the New Testament in contexts where the physical act of hanging or suspending is described. This term is not frequently used, indicating its specific application to scenarios involving the literal or metaphorical act of hanging. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of ἐκκρεμάννυμι can be seen in passages that describe objects or situations where something is physically suspended or metaphorically left hanging.

The concept of hanging or suspending is often associated with judgment or decision-making in biblical literature, where outcomes or consequences are left "hanging" until a resolution is reached. This term can also be used to describe the act of leaving something in a state of uncertainty or anticipation.

In the broader biblical narrative, the imagery of hanging or suspension can be symbolic of waiting for divine intervention or judgment. The act of hanging can also be seen in the context of crucifixion, where individuals were literally suspended as a form of execution, although ἐκκρεμάννυμι is not the term used for crucifixion in the New Testament.
