Strong's Lexicon tuptó: To strike, to beat, to smite Original Word: τύπτω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is נָכָה (nakah), which also means to strike or smite. Usage: The Greek verb "τύπτω" (tuptó) primarily means to strike or to beat. It is used in the New Testament to describe physical actions of hitting or striking, often in the context of punishment or violence. The term can also be metaphorically extended to describe emotional or spiritual affliction. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, physical punishment and corporal discipline were common practices, both in domestic settings and as judicial penalties. The act of striking or beating was often associated with authority and control, whether in the context of a master over a servant, a parent over a child, or a governing authority over a subject. The use of "τύπτω" in the New Testament reflects these cultural norms and often highlights the suffering and persecution faced by early Christians.
