Strong's Lexicon apotinó: To repay, to recompense, to pay back Original Word: ἀποτίνω Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb τίνω (tinó, meaning "to pay" or "to recompense"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent concepts can be found in words like שָׁלַם (shalom, Strong's H7999), which means "to make amends" or "to recompense," and גָּמַל (gamal, Strong's H1580), meaning "to deal bountifully" or "to repay." Usage: The verb ἀποτίνω is used to convey the idea of repaying or recompensing someone, often in the context of paying a debt or fulfilling an obligation. It can also imply a sense of retribution or settling accounts, whether in a financial, moral, or spiritual sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of repayment was deeply embedded in social and economic interactions. Debts and obligations were common, and the failure to repay could lead to severe consequences, including slavery or imprisonment. The idea of recompense also extended to moral and legal contexts, where justice was often seen as a form of balancing accounts. In Jewish culture, the concept of repayment was similarly significant, with the Law of Moses outlining various forms of restitution and compensation for wrongs committed.
