Strong's Lexicon stauroó: To crucify Original Word: σταυρόω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun σταυρός (stauros), meaning "cross." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "stauroó," the concept of crucifixion is related to the Hebrew word "תָּלָה" (talah), meaning "to hang," as seen in Deuteronomy 21:22-23, which discusses hanging on a tree. Usage: The verb "stauroó" primarily means to crucify, referring to the act of executing someone by nailing or binding them to a cross. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, as well as metaphorically to describe the spiritual act of putting to death the sinful nature. Cultural and Historical Background: Crucifixion was a method of capital punishment used by the Romans, characterized by its extreme cruelty and public humiliation. It was typically reserved for slaves, criminals, and enemies of the state. The crucifixion of Jesus is central to Christian theology, symbolizing the atonement for sin and the ultimate act of love and sacrifice. HELPS Word-studies 4717 stauróō – to crucify, literally used of the Romans crucifying Christ on a wooden cross. "Crucify" (4717 /stauróō) is also used figuratively of putting the old self to death by submitting all decisions (desires) to the Lord.
