This is seen in passages like Isaiah 53:3, where the suffering servant is "despised and rejected by men."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "apoblétos" is used to describe something that is considered worthless or rejected. In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of being cast aside or deemed unworthy of use or consideration.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of rejection or being cast away was significant, especially in social and religious contexts. Items or individuals deemed "apoblétos" were often excluded from communal or sacred activities. This term would resonate with early Christian audiences familiar with the social dynamics of acceptance and rejection, both in Jewish and Greco-Roman societies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/577.htm">apoballó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be thrown away, i.e. rejected<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rejected (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 579: ἀπόβλητος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπόβλητος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπόβλητον</span>, <span class="accented">thrown away, to be thrown away, rejected, despised, abominated</span>: as unclean, <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/4-4.htm">1 Timothy 4:4</a> (in <a href="/interlinear/hosea/9-3.htm">Hosea 9:3</a> <span class="manuref">Symm.</span> equivalent to <span class="hebrew">טָמֵא</span> unclean;
