Strong's Lexicon apodokimazó: To reject, to disapprove, to repudiate Original Word: ἀποδοκιμάζω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and δοκιμάζω (dokimazó, meaning "to test" or "to approve"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of rejection is מָאַס (ma'as), which means to reject or despise. Usage: The verb ἀποδοκιμάζω (apodokimazó) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of rejecting or disapproving something after examination. It implies a deliberate decision to reject something as unworthy or unsuitable. This term is often used in contexts where something or someone is tested and found lacking or unfit, leading to rejection. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of testing and approval was significant in various aspects of life, including commerce, where goods were tested for quality, and in civic life, where individuals were evaluated for their suitability for public office. The term ἀποδοκιμάζω reflects this cultural practice of testing and rejecting what does not meet the required standards. In a Jewish context, the rejection of the Messiah by the religious leaders can be seen as a profound example of this term's application. HELPS Word-studies 593 apodokimázō (from 575 /apó, "away from" and 1381 /dokimázō, "to prove, test") – properly, to cast away after thorough investigation (testing); to reject after determining something is useless (unworthy). [This is also the meaning of this term in Plato, Herodotus, Lydias, etc., which can also include disqualification (L-S).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom apo and dokimazó Definition to reject NASB Translation rejected (9).
