Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H2490 (חָלַל, chalal): To profane, defile, pollute, desecrate. This Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of making something common or unclean, similar to the Greek κοινόω. It appears in contexts related to the desecration of holy things or the violation of sacred laws. Usage: The verb κοινόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making something common or unclean, often in a ceremonial or moral sense. It is frequently used in discussions about ritual purity and the distinction between clean and unclean, particularly in the context of Jewish dietary laws and interactions with Gentiles. Context: The term κοινόω appears in several New Testament passages, primarily in the Gospels and Acts, where it is often associated with the Jewish laws of purity and the early Christian understanding of these laws. In Mark 7:15, Jesus teaches, "Nothing outside a man can defile him if it goes into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that defiles him." Here, κοινόω is used to challenge the traditional Jewish view of external sources of defilement, emphasizing moral and spiritual purity over ritualistic observance.
