Strong's Lexicon palaioó: to make old, to become obsolete, to grow old Original Word: παλαιόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: palaioó Pronunciation: pah-lah-ee-OH-o Phonetic Spelling: (pal-ah-yo'-o) Definition: I make old, declare obsolete; pass: I grow old, become obsolete. Meaning: To make old, to declare or treat as obsolete, to become old or worn out. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective παλαιός (palaios), meaning "old" or "ancient." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παλαιόω, the concept of oldness or obsolescence can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָשַׁן (yashan, Strong's 3462), meaning "to be old" or "to grow old," and בָּלָה (balah, Strong's 1086), meaning "to wear out" or "to decay." These terms similarly convey the idea of aging or becoming outdated, which aligns with the theological implications of παλαιόω in the New Testament. Usage: The verb παλαιόω is used in the New Testament to describe the process of becoming old or obsolete, often in the context of the old covenant or practices being replaced by the new covenant through Christ. Context: The Greek verb παλαιόω appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of discussing the transition from the old covenant to the new covenant established by Jesus Christ. This term is used to convey the idea of something becoming outdated or no longer effective. In Hebrews 8:13, the writer states, "By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear" (BSB). Here, παλαιόω is used to describe the old covenant as becoming obsolete in light of the new covenant. This reflects the broader theological theme in the New Testament of the fulfillment and surpassing of the old covenant through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The concept of παλαιόω is significant in understanding the transformative nature of the new covenant. It emphasizes the transition from the law, which was unable to bring about complete reconciliation with God, to the grace and truth realized in Christ. This transition is not merely a chronological progression but a fundamental shift in the way God relates to humanity, offering a new and living way through Jesus.
