It conveys the action of walking or stepping on something, often with the implication of dominance or destruction. In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically to describe physical walking or the act of overcoming and subduing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the act of treading or trampling was often associated with conquest and victory. To tread upon something symbolized authority and control. In the context of the New Testament, this imagery would resonate with the audience's understanding of power dynamics, both in a physical and spiritual sense.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from patos (trodden)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to tread or tread on<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>trampled under (1), tread (1), tread under foot (1), treads (1), trodden (1).<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 3961: πατέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πατέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πάτω</span>; future <span class="greek2">πατήσω</span>; passive, present participle <span class="greek2">πατουμενος</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐπατήθην</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">דָּרַך</span>, etc.; <span class="accented">to tread,</span> i. e., a. <span class="accented">to trample, crush with the feet</span>: <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">ληνόν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/14-20.htm">Revelation 14:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/19-15.htm">Revelation 19:15</a> (<a href="/interlinear/judges/9-27.htm">Judges 9:27</a>; <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/13-15.htm">Nehemiah 13:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Jer. 48:33>); <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/1-15.htm">Lamentations 1:15</a>). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to advance by setting foot upon, tread upon</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐπάνω</span> <span class="greek2">ὄφεων</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">σκορπίων</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">πᾶσαν</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">δύναμιν</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐχθροῦ</span>, to encounter successfully the greatest perils from the machinations and persecutions with which Satan would fain thwart the preaching of the gospel, <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-19.htm">Luke 10:19</a> (cf. <a href="/interlinear/psalms/90-13.htm">Psalm 90:13</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 91:13>)). <p><span class="emphasized">c.</span> <span class="accented">to tread underfoot, trample on,</span> i. e. <span class="accented">treat with insult and contempt</span>: to desecrate the holy city by devastation and outrage, <a href="/interlinear/luke/21-24.htm">Luke 21:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/11-2.htm">Revelation 11:2</a> (from <a href="/interlinear/daniel/8-13.htm">Daniel 8:13</a>); see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">καταπατέω</span></span>.
