Strong's Lexicon androphonos: Manslayer, murderer Original Word: ἀνδροφόνος Word Origin: Derived from ἀνήρ (anēr, meaning "man") and φονεύω (phoneuō, meaning "to kill" or "to murder"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for a murderer is often found in words like רָצַח (ratsach, Strong's Hebrew 7523), which also means to murder or slay. Usage: The term "androphonos" is used to describe someone who kills a man, specifically a murderer. It conveys the act of taking a human life with intent and malice. In the New Testament, it is used to denote those who commit the sin of murder, which is a violation of the commandment "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, murder was considered a grave offense, both legally and morally. The act of murder disrupted the social order and was often met with severe punishment. In Jewish law, murder was a capital offense, and the cities of refuge were established to protect those who killed unintentionally (Numbers 35:9-34). The New Testament continues this understanding, emphasizing the sanctity of life and the seriousness of taking a life unlawfully.
