STRONGS NT 1842: ἐξολοθρεύω

ἐξολοθρεύω and (according to the reading best attested by the oldest manuscripts of the Sept. and received by L T Tr WH (see ὀλοθρεύω)) ἐξολεθρεύω: future passive ἐξολοθρευθήσομαι; to destroy out of its place, destroy utterly, to extirpate: ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ, Acts 3:23. (Often in the Sept., and in the O. T. Apocrypha, and in Test xii. Patr.; Josephus, Antiquities 8, 11, 1; 11, 6, 6; hardly in native Greek writings.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb ὀλοθρεύω (olothreúō, meaning "to destroy" or "to ruin").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H8045 שָׁמַד (shamad): To destroy, exterminate, annihilate.

H3582 כָּלָה (kalah): To complete, finish, bring to an end, annihilate.

These Hebrew terms share a thematic connection with ἐξολοθρεύω, as they all convey the idea of complete destruction or removal, often in the context of divine judgment or the fulfillment of God's will.

Usage: The verb ἐξολοθρεύω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of complete destruction or annihilation, often in the context of divine judgment or the removal of evil.

Context: The Greek verb ἐξολοθρεύω appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of total destruction or eradication, often associated with divine intervention or judgment. This term emphasizes the thoroughness and completeness of the action, leaving nothing remaining. It is used in contexts where the eradication of evil or opposition is necessary to fulfill divine purposes.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐξολοθρεύω is used to describe actions that align with God's justice and holiness. For example, in Acts 3:23, it is used in the context of a warning that those who do not listen to the prophet will be "utterly destroyed" from among the people. This reflects the seriousness of rejecting divine revelation and the consequences that follow.

The term also appears in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, where it is used to translate Hebrew words that convey similar meanings of destruction and extermination. This usage underscores the continuity of the concept of divine judgment and the removal of wickedness from both the Old and New Testament perspectives.
