Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for footwear, particularly sandals, can be found in entries such as Strong's Hebrew 5275 (נַעַל, na'al), which also refers to a sandal or shoe. This term is used in various Old Testament passages to denote footwear, often in contexts similar to those found in the New Testament, such as in Exodus 3:5, where God instructs Moses to remove his sandals.

Usage: The term ὑπόδημα is used in the New Testament to refer to sandals or shoes, often in the context of describing the footwear of individuals, particularly in relation to their journeys or status.

Context: The Greek term ὑπόδημα appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. In the ancient world, sandals were a common form of footwear, typically consisting of a sole fastened to the foot with straps. They were essential for travel and daily life, providing protection and comfort.

In the New Testament, ὑπόδημα is often mentioned in the context of John the Baptist's humility and the coming of Jesus Christ. For instance, in Mark 1:7 (BSB), John the Baptist declares, "After me will come one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie." This statement emphasizes John's recognition of Jesus' superior authority and divinity.

Additionally, in Acts 7:33 (BSB), during Stephen's speech, he recounts God's command to Moses at the burning bush: "Remove your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." This highlights the significance of sandals in the context of reverence and holiness.

The use of ὑπόδημα in these passages underscores themes of humility, reverence, and the acknowledgment of divine authority. It serves as a cultural and theological symbol within the biblical narrative, reflecting the customs and spiritual insights of the time.
