Strong's Lexicon apoblétos: Rejected, cast away, worthless Original Word: ἀπόβλητος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀποβάλλω (apoballō), meaning "to throw away" or "to reject." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of rejection is מָאַס (ma'as), which means to reject or despise. This is seen in passages like Isaiah 53:3, where the suffering servant is "despised and rejected by men." Usage: The term "apoblétos" is used to describe something that is considered worthless or rejected. In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of being cast aside or deemed unworthy of use or consideration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of rejection or being cast away was significant, especially in social and religious contexts. Items or individuals deemed "apoblétos" were often excluded from communal or sacred activities. This term would resonate with early Christian audiences familiar with the social dynamics of acceptance and rejection, both in Jewish and Greco-Roman societies.
