Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verbCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek σφάζω corresponds to several Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings of slaughter or sacrifice, including: Usage: The verb σφάζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of killing, often in a sacrificial or violent context. It appears in various passages to convey the idea of slaughter or execution, particularly in relation to sacrificial imagery or martyrdom. Context: The Greek verb σφάζω is a term that conveys the act of killing with a focus on the methodical or ritualistic aspect of the act, often associated with sacrifice. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both literal and metaphorical acts of slaughter. For instance, in the Book of Revelation, σφάζω is frequently employed to depict the sacrificial death of the Lamb, symbolizing Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice. Revelation 5:6 (BSB) states, "Then I saw a Lamb who appeared to have been slain, standing in the center of the throne..." Here, the term underscores the sacrificial nature of Christ's death, drawing a parallel to the Old Testament sacrificial system.
