Strong's Lexicon entruphaó: To revel, to take delight in, to indulge in luxury Original Word: ἐντρυφάω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb "τρυφάω" (truphaó, meaning "to live luxuriously" or "to revel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "entruphaó," the concept of revelry and indulgence can be related to Hebrew words such as "זָלַל" (zalal, meaning "to be lavish" or "to be gluttonous") and "שָׁעַע" (sha'a, meaning "to delight" or "to play"). Usage: The verb "entruphaó" conveys the idea of reveling or taking excessive delight in something, often with a connotation of indulgence or luxury. It suggests a focus on pleasure and enjoyment, sometimes to the point of excess or moral compromise. In the New Testament, it is used to describe behaviors that are self-indulgent and contrary to a life of discipline and godliness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, revelry and indulgence were common in various social and religious contexts. Feasts, banquets, and festivals often involved excessive eating, drinking, and entertainment. Such practices were sometimes associated with pagan worship and were seen as contrary to the values of moderation and self-control promoted in Jewish and early Christian teachings.
