Strong's Lexicon anastauroó: To crucify again Original Word: ἀνασταυρόω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "again" or "up") and σταυρόω (stauroó, meaning "to crucify"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anastauroó," the concept of crucifixion and its implications can be related to Hebrew terms associated with sacrifice and atonement, such as זֶבַח (zevach, meaning "sacrifice") and כָּפַר (kaphar, meaning "to atone" or "to cover"). Usage: The term "anastauroó" is used to describe the act of crucifying again or anew. It is a rare term in the New Testament, emphasizing the gravity and seriousness of the action it describes. Theologically, it conveys the idea of subjecting Christ to public disgrace once more, particularly in the context of apostasy or falling away from faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Roman world, crucifixion was a brutal and shameful form of execution reserved for the most heinous criminals and slaves. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was a central event in Christian theology, symbolizing the atonement for sin. The concept of "crucifying again" would have been understood as a profound insult and a severe spiritual offense, as it implies a rejection of the once-for-all sacrifice of Christ.
