Strong's Lexicon pipraskó: to sell, to be sold Original Word: πιπράσκω Word Origin: A reduplicated and prolonged form of prao (to sell) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is מָכַר (makar), Strong's Hebrew 4376, which also means "to sell." Usage: The Greek verb "pipraskó" primarily means "to sell" or "to be sold." It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of selling goods or property, as well as metaphorically to describe being under the power or influence of sin, as in being "sold under sin." Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of selling was integral to daily life, encompassing the trade of goods, property, and even people. Slavery was a common institution, and individuals could be sold into slavery due to debt or as a result of war. The metaphorical use of "pipraskó" in the New Testament reflects the pervasive nature of sin and the human condition of being enslaved to sin without the redemptive power of Christ.
