Strong's Lexicon thaptó: To bury Original Word: θάπτω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 6912: קָבַר (qabar) - to bury Usage: The Greek verb "thaptó" means "to bury" and is used in the New Testament to describe the act of placing a dead body in the ground or a tomb. It conveys the physical act of burial, which is a significant cultural and religious practice in both Jewish and early Christian traditions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, burial was an important ritual that demonstrated respect for the deceased and adherence to religious customs. The act of burial was typically performed on the same day as death, in accordance with Jewish law, to prevent defilement. The New Testament reflects this practice, and burial is often associated with themes of death, resurrection, and hope in eternal life. Early Christians also placed significant emphasis on burial, viewing it as a symbol of the believer's hope in the resurrection of the dead, as exemplified by the burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
