In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe actions of removal or separation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the act of plucking was commonly associated with grooming or preparing animals for sacrifice. The term could also be used in agricultural contexts, such as plucking grain or fruit. In the Greco-Roman world, personal grooming, including the plucking of hair, was a common practice, reflecting social norms and personal hygiene.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to pluck, to pluck off<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pick (1), picking (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5089: τίλλω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τίλλω</span></span>;
