Strong's Lexicon tetrapous: Four-footed, quadruped Original Word: τετράπους Word Origin: From Greek words τέσσαρα (tessara, meaning "four") and πούς (pous, meaning "foot") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is חַיָּה (chayah, Strong's H2416), which refers to living creatures, including four-footed animals. Usage: The term "tetrapous" is used to describe animals that walk on four feet. In the context of the New Testament, it is often used to refer to various kinds of animals, particularly in discussions about dietary laws and idolatry. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, four-footed animals were common in both domestic and wild settings. They were integral to agriculture, transportation, and religious practices. In Jewish dietary laws, certain four-footed animals were considered unclean, and this distinction carried over into early Christian discussions about food and idolatry.
