Berean Strong's Lexicon aphaireó: To take away, remove, cut off Original Word: ἀφαιρέω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and αἱρέω (haireó, meaning "to take" or "to choose"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5493 (סוּר, sur): To turn aside, remove, depart - H7725 (שׁוּב, shub): To turn back, return, restore Usage: The verb ἀφαιρέω (aphaireó) is used in the New Testament to denote the action of taking away or removing something. It often implies a decisive or forceful removal, whether it be physical, such as cutting off a body part, or metaphorical, such as removing sin or guilt. The term can also be used in legal or covenantal contexts, indicating the annulment or cancellation of a decree or obligation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of removal or taking away was significant in various contexts, including legal, medical, and religious practices. The act of removing something could symbolize purification, healing, or the execution of justice. In Jewish culture, the removal of sin or impurity was central to religious life, often associated with sacrificial rituals and the Day of Atonement.
