Strong's Lexicon diarpazó: To plunder, to seize thoroughly, to snatch away Original Word: διαρπάζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: diarpazó Pronunciation: dee-ar-pad'-zo Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ar-pad'-zo) Definition: I plunder, rob thoroughly. Meaning: To plunder, to thoroughly seize, to snatch away with force. Word Origin: From the preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and the verb ἁρπάζω (harpázō, meaning "to seize" or "to snatch"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek διαρπάζω does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, but similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to plundering or seizing, such as: • Strong's Hebrew 962 (בָּזַז, bazaz): to plunder, spoil, seize. • Strong's Hebrew 1497 (גָּזַל, gazal): to tear away, seize, plunder. These Hebrew terms reflect similar actions of taking by force, often used in the context of war or judgment, and provide a broader understanding of the concept of plundering as seen in the biblical narrative. Usage: The verb διαρπάζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of plundering or seizing with force. It conveys a sense of thorough and forceful taking, often in the context of spoiling or robbing. Context: The Greek verb διαρπάζω appears in the New Testament to describe acts of plundering or seizing with force. This term is used to convey the idea of taking something with decisive and often violent action. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to illustrate the thoroughness and intensity of the action, often in a negative sense, such as the act of robbing or spoiling. In the Berean Standard Bible, διαρπάζω is used in passages that highlight the destructive and forceful nature of certain actions. For example, in Matthew 12:29, Jesus uses the concept of plundering to illustrate the necessity of overpowering a strong man before taking his possessions: "Or how can anyone enter a strong man’s house and steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man? Then he can plunder his house." This term is significant in understanding the cultural and historical context of the New Testament, where acts of plundering were common in times of war and conflict. The use of διαρπάζω underscores the severity and decisiveness of such actions, often reflecting the broader themes of spiritual warfare and the struggle between good and evil.
