Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the preposition κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "according to") and the verb κληρονομέω (klēronomeō, meaning "to inherit" or "to receive a lot").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5157 נָחַל (nachal): To inherit, to possess.
• H3423 יָרַשׁ (yarash): To take possession of, to inherit.
• H2506 חֵלֶק (cheleq): Portion, inheritance.
These Hebrew terms reflect similar concepts of inheritance and possession, often used in the Old Testament to describe the land and blessings given to the people of Israel as their inheritance from God. The continuity between the Hebrew and Greek terms highlights the biblical theme of God's people receiving their promised inheritance.
Usage: This verb is used in the context of receiving an inheritance or possessing something as a rightful heir. It implies a complete or full inheritance, often with a sense of divine or rightful allotment.
Context: The Greek verb κατακληρονομέω (kataklēronomeō) is a compound word that combines the ideas of inheritance and possession. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of receiving an inheritance in a complete or full manner. The prefix κατά (kata) intensifies the action of the verb, suggesting a thorough or complete possession.
In the context of the New Testament, κατακληρονομέω is often associated with the spiritual inheritance of believers. This inheritance is not merely a physical or earthly possession but encompasses the spiritual blessings and promises granted to the followers of Christ. The concept of inheritance is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, where God's people are often described as heirs to His promises.
The use of κατακληρονομέω underscores the certainty and completeness of the inheritance that believers receive through faith. It reflects the idea that this inheritance is not earned but is a gift from God, secured through the work of Christ. The term may also imply the divine allotment of this inheritance, as God is the one who apportions it according to His will.
In the Berean Standard Bible, κατακληρονομέω is used to convey the richness and fullness of the believer's inheritance in Christ. It emphasizes the assurance and permanence of this inheritance, which is kept in heaven for those who are in Christ.
