Strong's Lexicon embaptó: To dip in, to immerse Original Word: ἐμβαπτό Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and the verb "βαπτίζω" (baptizō, meaning "to dip" or "to immerse"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "embaptó," the concept of dipping or immersing can be related to the Hebrew verb "טָבַל" (tabal), which also means to dip or immerse, as seen in passages like 2 Kings 5:14. Usage: The verb "embaptó" is used to describe the action of dipping or immersing something into a liquid. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the act of dipping a morsel of bread into a dish, as seen in the Last Supper narrative. The term conveys a sense of complete immersion or submersion, which is significant in understanding the cultural practices of the time. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman world, communal meals often involved dipping bread or other food items into shared dishes. This practice was not only a practical way to eat but also a symbol of fellowship and unity among those partaking in the meal. The act of dipping, as described by "embaptó," would have been a familiar and meaningful gesture to the original audience of the New Testament.
