Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 513: ἀξίνηἀξίνη, ἀξινης, ἡ ((perhaps from) ἄγνυμι, future ἄξω, to break), an axe: Luke 3:9; Matthew 3:10. (As old as Homer and Herodotus.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a presumed base akin to the idea of felling; related to the Greek word for "axe."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of an axe in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by the word גַּרְזֶן (garzen), Strong's Hebrew 1631. This term is used in various Old Testament passages to describe a tool for cutting wood or as a metaphor for destruction and judgment, similar to its Greek counterpart. Usage: The term ἀξίνη is used in the New Testament to metaphorically represent judgment or impending destruction, emphasizing the readiness and imminence of divine action. Context: The Greek word ἀξίνη appears in the New Testament in contexts that symbolize judgment and the urgency of repentance. It is notably used in the teachings of John the Baptist, who warns of the coming judgment and the need for genuine repentance. In Matthew 3:10 (BSB), John the Baptist declares, "The axe lies ready at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." This imagery conveys the immediacy and certainty of divine judgment, where the axe represents God's readiness to execute justice on those who fail to bear the fruits of righteousness.
