Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the preposition ὑπό (hypo, meaning "under") and the adverb κάτω (kato, meaning "below" or "beneath").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek term ὑποκάτω corresponds to several Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings of being under or beneath. These include:
• Strong's Hebrew 8478: תַּחַת (tachat) – meaning "under," "beneath," or "instead of."
• Strong's Hebrew 8479: תַּחְתִּי (tachti) – meaning "lower" or "lowest."
• Strong's Hebrew 8480: תַּחְתִּית (tachtit) – meaning "underneath" or "lowest part."

These Hebrew terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe physical locations or metaphorical positions of subordination, similar to the usage of ὑποκάτω in the New Testament.

Usage: The word ὑποκάτω is used in the New Testament to denote a position of being under or beneath something else. It can refer to physical placement or metaphorical subjection.

Context: The Greek term ὑποκάτω appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of being under or beneath. It is often used in contexts where physical positioning is described, such as being under a tree or beneath the earth. Additionally, it can be used metaphorically to indicate subjection or submission to authority or power.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὑποκάτω is used in passages that emphasize the authority and dominion of Christ. For example, in Mark 12:36, it is written, "The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, until I put Your enemies under Your feet.'" Here, ὑποκάτω is used to describe the subjugation of Christ's enemies, illustrating His ultimate authority and victory.

The term also appears in Hebrews 2:8, which states, "You have put all things in subjection under His feet." This passage highlights the comprehensive dominion of Christ over all creation, with ὑποκάτω emphasizing the complete subjection of all things to His rule.

The use of ὑποκάτω in the New Testament underscores themes of authority, dominion, and the fulfillment of divine promises, particularly in relation to the messianic reign of Christ.
