Strong's Lexicon ekleipó: To fail, to cease, to leave out, to come to an end Original Word: ἐκλείπω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ekleipó Pronunciation: ek-LAY-po Phonetic Spelling: (ek-li'-po) Definition: To fail, to cease, to leave out, to come to an end Meaning: I fail, die out, come to an end, am defunct. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and "λείπω" (leipó, meaning "to leave" or "to fail"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of failing or ceasing can be related to the Hebrew word "כָּלָה" (kalah, Strong's H3615), which means to be finished, completed, or to come to an end. Usage: The verb "ekleipó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of failing, ceasing, or coming to an end. It often conveys the idea of something that was once present or active but has now stopped or disappeared. This can refer to physical phenomena, such as the cessation of light, or metaphorical concepts, such as the failure of faith or strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of things ceasing or failing was often associated with natural phenomena, such as eclipses, which were seen as significant events. The term "ekleipó" would have been understood in this context as a powerful image of something that was once reliable or constant coming to an unexpected halt. In the biblical context, this term can also carry a spiritual or moral dimension, reflecting the transient nature of human strength and the need for reliance on God.
