Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the specific action of עָקַד. However, the concept of binding or tying can be related to Greek terms such as δέω (deo • Strong's Greek 1210), which means to bind or tie. Usage: The verb עָקַד is used in the context of binding or tying, specifically with thongs or cords. It is a term that appears in the narrative of the binding of Isaac, where it describes the act of binding Isaac before the intended sacrifice. Context: The Hebrew verb עָקַד (Aqad) is a primitive root that conveys the action of binding or tying, particularly with thongs or cords. This term is notably used in Genesis 22:9, where it describes the binding of Isaac by Abraham. The passage reads: "When they arrived at the place that God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound (עָקַד) his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood" (Berean Standard Bible). This act of binding is central to the narrative, symbolizing obedience and faith. The term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, which underscores its specific and significant application in this context. The act of binding in this narrative is both literal and symbolic, representing the ultimate test of faith and obedience to God's command.
