Strong's Lexicon analusis: Departure, release Original Word: ἀνάλυσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀναλύω (analuō), meaning "to unloose" or "to depart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "analusis," the concept of departure or release can be related to Hebrew terms like יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), meaning "to go out" or "to depart." Usage: The term "analusis" is used in the New Testament to denote a departure or release, often in the context of death as a release from the physical body. It conveys the idea of a transition from one state of existence to another, particularly from earthly life to eternal life with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "analusis" was often associated with the release of a ship from its moorings or the unyoking of animals from a plow, symbolizing a transition or a journey. In the context of early Christianity, this term took on a spiritual dimension, reflecting the belief in life after death and the hope of resurrection.
