Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and ἐνδέχομαι (endechomai, "to admit" or "to allow").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνένδεκτος, the concept of impossibility or inadmissibility can be found in various Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings, such as לֹא (lo, "not") and אִי אֶפְשָׁר (i efshar, "impossible"). These terms are used in the Hebrew Bible to express the idea of something being beyond the realm of possibility or not permissible according to divine law.

Usage: The term ἀνένδεκτος is used in the New Testament to describe something that is impossible or not permissible. It conveys the idea of something that cannot be accepted or allowed under any circumstances.

Context: The Greek word ἀνένδεκτος appears in the New Testament to emphasize the impossibility or inadmissibility of certain actions or events. It is a term that underscores the absolute nature of a prohibition or the unfeasibility of a situation. In the context of biblical teachings, it often highlights the divine boundaries set by God, which cannot be transgressed by human effort or will.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀνένδεκτος is used to convey the idea that certain things are beyond human capability or are not within the realm of possibility according to divine law or order. This term serves as a reminder of the limitations inherent in human nature and the sovereignty of God's will.

The use of ἀνένδεκτος in the New Testament is a testament to the understanding that some things are inherently beyond human control or intervention, reflecting the broader theological theme of God's ultimate authority and the boundaries He establishes.
