Strong's Lexicon moichos: Adulterer Original Word: μοιχός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb μοιχάω (moichaō), meaning "to commit adultery." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - נאף (na'aph): Often translated as "to commit adultery," this Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament to describe the act of adultery and is found in passages such as Exodus 20:14 and Leviticus 20:10. Usage: The term "μοιχός" refers to a man who engages in sexual relations with someone other than his wife, thus violating the sanctity of marriage. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who are unfaithful in their marital vows, often in a broader spiritual sense as well, indicating unfaithfulness to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, adultery was considered a serious offense, often leading to severe social and legal consequences. In Jewish culture, the Law of Moses explicitly condemned adultery, and it was punishable by death (Leviticus 20:10). The New Testament continues this moral teaching, emphasizing the sanctity of marriage and fidelity as reflective of one's relationship with God.
