Topical Lexicon Word Origin: AramaicCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the specific act of hanging or impaling as described by זְקַף. However, related concepts of execution or punishment can be found in Greek terms such as σταυρόω (stauroō • Strong's Greek 4717), which means to crucify, and ἀνασκολοπίζω (anaskolopizō • not in Strong's, but related to impaling or fixing on a pole). These terms reflect similar practices of execution in the Greco-Roman world. Usage: The term זְקַף is used in the context of execution or punishment, specifically referring to the act of hanging or impaling an individual. This word is found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel. Context: The Aramaic verb זְקַף (zeqaf) appears in the context of ancient Near Eastern practices of execution, where hanging or impaling was a method used to display the bodies of those who were executed as a public deterrent. In the book of Daniel, this term is used to describe the fate of those who defy royal decrees or are found guilty of serious offenses. The use of this term reflects the historical and cultural practices of the Babylonian and Persian empires, where such forms of capital punishment were not uncommon.
