Strong's Lexicon klopé: Theft, stealing Original Word: κλοπή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κλέπτω (kleptō), meaning "to steal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 1589: גָּנַב (ganab) - to steal - Strong's Hebrew 1590: גְּנֵבָה (genevah) - theft Usage: The term "klopé" refers to the act of stealing or theft. It is used in the New Testament to describe the unlawful taking of someone else's property. The word emphasizes the act of stealing itself, rather than the identity of the thief or the value of the stolen item. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, theft was considered a serious offense, often punishable by severe penalties. The act of stealing was not only a violation of personal property rights but also a breach of social and moral order. In Jewish law, as outlined in the Torah, theft was condemned, and restitution was required. The cultural context of the New Testament reflects these values, viewing theft as a sin against both God and neighbor.
