It appears in various forms throughout the Scriptures, reflecting both divine justice and human actions.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, "slay" is frequently associated with God's commands and judgments. For instance, in the context of divine retribution, God commands the Israelites to slay their enemies as part of His judgment against wickedness. In <a href="/1_samuel/15-3.htm">1 Samuel 15:3</a>, God instructs Saul, "Now go and attack the Amalekites and devote to destruction all that belongs to them. Do not spare them, but put to death men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys."<br><br>The term is also used in the context of sacrificial offerings. In <a href="/leviticus/1-5.htm">Leviticus 1:5</a>, the process of offering a burnt sacrifice involves slaying the animal: "Then he shall slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and Aaron&#8217;s sons the priests shall present the blood and sprinkle it on all sides of the altar at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting."<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of slaying takes on a more spiritual dimension. While physical acts of slaying are less emphasized, the term is used metaphorically to describe the putting to death of sinful nature. In <a href="/romans/8-13.htm">Romans 8:13</a>, Paul writes, "For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live."<br><br>The ultimate act of slaying in the New Testament is the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, who was slain for the sins of humanity. <a href="/revelation/5-9.htm">Revelation 5:9</a> speaks of Christ as the Lamb who was slain: "And they sang a new song: 'Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.'"<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The act of slaying in the Bible often serves as a means of divine justice or purification. It underscores the seriousness of sin and the necessity of atonement. In the Old Testament, the slaying of sacrificial animals prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, who was slain to atone for the sins of the world.<br><br>Moreover, the call to "slay" the sinful nature in the New Testament highlights the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life. It is a call to spiritual warfare, urging believers to put to death the deeds of the flesh and live according to the Spirit.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of slaying in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. It reflects God's justice, the seriousness of sin, and the redemptive work of Christ. Through the lens of Scripture, slaying is not merely an act of violence but a profound element of God's redemptive plan for humanity.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>v. t.</I>) To put to death with a weapon, or by violence; hence, to kill; to put an end to; to destroy.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4969.htm"><span class="l">4969. sphazo -- to <b>slay</b>, slaughter</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to <b>slay</b>, slaughter.
