It conveys the idea of something being taken away violently or unjustly. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both literal and metaphorical acts of taking or seizing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, acts of plunder and robbery were not uncommon, especially during times of war or political upheaval. The concept of "harpagé" would have been familiar to early Christians, who often faced persecution and the confiscation of their property. The term also reflects the broader biblical theme of justice and the protection of the vulnerable from exploitation.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 724</b> <i>harpagḗ</i> – to plunder (pillage), fueled by "<i>violent</i> greed" (<i>L & N</i>, 1, 25.24). <a href="/greek/726.htm">See 726</a> (<i>harpazō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/726.htm">harpazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>pillage, plundering<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>robbery (2), seizure (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 724: ἁρπαγή</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἁρπαγή</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἁρπαγῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἁρπάζω</span>), <span class="accented">rapine, pillage</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">the act of plundering, robbery</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/10-34.htm">Hebrews 10:34</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">plunder, spoil</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-25.htm">Matthew 23:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-39.htm">Luke 11:39</a>.
