Strong's Lexicon empiptó: To fall into, to fall upon Original Word: ἐμπίπτω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb πίπτω (piptó, meaning "to fall"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐμπίπτω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like נָפַל (naphal, Strong's H5307), which means "to fall." Usage: The verb ἐμπίπτω (empiptó) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of falling into something, whether it be a physical situation, a state of being, or a metaphorical condition. It often conveys the idea of encountering or being overtaken by circumstances, whether positive or negative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "falling into" something could imply a sudden or unexpected change in circumstances. This could be used in both literal and metaphorical senses, such as falling into a pit or falling into temptation. The New Testament writers, influenced by both Jewish and Hellenistic thought, used this term to describe spiritual and moral conditions as well as physical events.
