Strong's Lexicon katapinó: To swallow up, to devour, to consume Original Word: καταπίνω Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down") and πίνω (pinó, meaning "to drink"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of swallowing or consuming is בָּלַע (bala, Strong's H1104), which also conveys the idea of engulfing or devouring. Usage: The verb "katapinó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of swallowing or consuming something completely. It often carries a metaphorical sense, indicating the complete and utter destruction or absorption of one thing by another. This term can be used both in a literal sense, such as swallowing food or drink, and in a figurative sense, such as being overwhelmed by emotions or circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of swallowing or consuming was often associated with power and dominance. The imagery of being "swallowed up" was used to describe the total defeat or destruction of an enemy. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used to illustrate the victory of life over death and the ultimate triumph of God's power.
