Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מוּת (mûṯ), meaning "to die."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G86 (ᾅδης, hadēs): Refers to the abode of the dead, similar to Sheol in Hebrew thought. It is used in the New Testament to describe the realm of the dead, as in Luke 16:23: "In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side."
• G5054 (τελευτή, teleutē): This term is used to denote the end or completion, often in the context of death. It appears in Matthew 2:15: "And he remained there until the death of Herod. This fulfilled what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: 'Out of Egypt I called My Son.'"

The concept of מָוֶת in the Hebrew Bible is multifaceted, encompassing both the physical reality of death and its spiritual implications, as well as its role in divine justice and human experience.

Usage: The word מָוֶת appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in contexts discussing physical death, the afterlife, or divine judgment. It is used to describe both literal and metaphorical death, as well as calamities that lead to destruction.

Context: • Physical Death: מָוֶת is commonly used to describe the cessation of life. For example, in Genesis 2:17, God warns Adam that eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil will result in death: "for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."
• The State of the Dead: The term is also used to describe Sheol, the abode of the dead, as seen in passages like Psalm 6:5: "For there is no mention of You in death; who can praise You from Sheol?"
• Metaphorical Death: מָוֶת can symbolize spiritual death or separation from God, as in Hosea 13:14: "I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from Death."
• Pestilence and Ruin: The word is sometimes used to describe widespread calamity or destruction, such as in Jeremiah 18:21: "Therefore, hand their children over to famine; pour out the power of the sword upon them. Let their wives become childless and widowed, their men slain by the plague, their young men struck down by the sword in battle."
• Divine Judgment: מָוֶת is often associated with divine retribution, where death is a consequence of sin or disobedience, as seen in Ezekiel 18:4: "Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die."
