Strong's Lexicon entaphiazó: To prepare for burial, to embalm Original Word: ἐνταφιάζω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and a derivative of "τάφος" (taphos, meaning "tomb" or "burial"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "entaphiazó," related concepts can be found in Hebrew burial practices, such as "קָבַר" (qabar, Strong's H6912), meaning "to bury." Usage: The verb "entaphiazó" refers to the act of preparing a body for burial, which includes wrapping the body in linen and anointing it with spices and ointments. This term is used in the context of Jewish burial customs, which were meticulous and respectful, reflecting the belief in the dignity of the human body even after death. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, burial practices were an important aspect of honoring the deceased. The preparation of a body for burial involved washing, anointing with spices, and wrapping in linen cloths. This process was not only a sign of respect but also a reflection of the hope in the resurrection. The use of spices and ointments was intended to honor the deceased and mitigate the odor of decay.
