It conveys the moment when life departs from the body, emphasizing the finality of death. This term is often used in contexts where the physical cessation of life is highlighted, particularly in narrative accounts of death.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, death was often viewed with a sense of inevitability and mystery. The act of dying was sometimes described in terms of the soul departing from the body, a concept that resonates with the Greek understanding of the soul (ψυχή, psyche) as the life force. In Jewish thought, death was seen as a transition to Sheol, the abode of the dead, and was often accompanied by rituals of mourning and burial.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/5594.htm">psuchó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to expire, breathe one's last<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>breathed her last (1), breathed his last (1), died (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 1634: ἐκψύχω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκψύχω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξεψυξα</span>; <span class="accented">to expire, to breathe out one's life</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐκπνέω</span></span>): <a href="/interlinear/acts/5-5.htm">Acts 5:5, 10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/12-23.htm">Acts 12:23</a>.
