Strong's Lexicon katapateó: To trample, to tread down, to spurn Original Word: καταπατέω Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and πατέω (pateo, meaning "to tread" or "to trample") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of trampling or treading down is also found in the Hebrew Scriptures, with words such as דָּרַךְ (darakh, Strong's H1869) and רָמַס (ramas, Strong's H7429), which convey similar meanings of treading or trampling. Usage: The verb καταπατέω (katapateó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of trampling or treading down with disdain or contempt. It conveys a sense of disrespect or disregard for something considered valuable or sacred. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the rejection or despising of spiritual truths or holy things. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the act of trampling something underfoot was a powerful symbol of domination and contempt. It was a common practice to demonstrate victory over enemies or to show disdain for something considered worthless. In a Jewish context, trampling sacred objects or places would be seen as a severe act of desecration, reflecting a deep disrespect for God and His commandments.
