Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7523 (רָצַח, ratsach): To murder, to slay - H2026 (הָרַג, harag): To kill, to slay Usage: The Greek verb "phoneuó" primarily means to commit murder or to kill unlawfully. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of taking another person's life with intent and malice. This term is often associated with the violation of the sixth commandment, "You shall not murder," highlighting the moral and legal prohibition against such acts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, as well as in Jewish culture, murder was considered a grave sin and a serious crime. The act of murder was not only a violation of human law but also an offense against divine law. In Jewish tradition, the sanctity of life was paramount, and the unlawful taking of life was met with severe consequences. The New Testament continues this tradition, emphasizing the spiritual and ethical dimensions of murder, extending the concept to include hatred and anger in one's heart (Matthew 5:21-22).
