Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀλύω (alyo), meaning "to restrain" or "to bind."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἅλυσις, similar concepts of chains and bondage can be found in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew word אֲסוּרִים (asurim), meaning "bonds" or "fetters," is often used in contexts that parallel the Greek usage of ἅλυσις. Another related term is כֶּבֶל (kevel), which also denotes chains or shackles. These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe physical restraints and are often metaphorically applied to spiritual or moral bondage. Usage: The term ἅλυσις is used in the New Testament to refer to physical chains or bonds, often in the context of imprisonment or captivity. Context: The Greek word ἅλυσις appears in several New Testament passages, primarily in the context of imprisonment and the physical restraint of individuals. It is often used to describe the chains that bound the Apostle Paul during his various imprisonments. The term conveys not only the physical aspect of being bound but also the spiritual and emotional trials associated with such captivity.
