This term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe God, His people, and objects dedicated to His service.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek word "hieros" is used to describe something that is sacred or holy, often in relation to religious or divine matters. It conveys the idea of being set apart for a special purpose, particularly in the context of worship or service to God. In the New Testament, "hieros" is used to describe things associated with the temple, priesthood, or other sacred duties.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "hieros" was deeply embedded in religious practices. Temples, rituals, and priestly duties were considered "hieros," signifying their importance and sanctity. In the Jewish context, the temple in Jerusalem was the central place of worship, and the priesthood was tasked with maintaining the sacredness of worship practices. The use of "hieros" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of holiness and sacredness, emphasizing the separation of the divine from the common.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2413</b> <i>hierós</i> (an adjective) – properly, <i>sacred</i> (because associated with God's <i>sanctuary</i>, <i>the Temple</i>); consecrated to deity and therefore "<i>holy</i>," i.e. <i>inviolably sacred</i> because acceptable for God's service. </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>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sacred, a sacred thing, a temple<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sacred (1), sacred services (1), temple (71).<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 2413: ἱερός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἱερός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἱερά</span>, <span class="greek2">ἱερόν</span> (its primary sense is thought to be <span class="accented">mighty</span>; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 614; <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 88; yet see <span class="abbreviation">Schmidt</span> as below; fr, <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">sacred, consecrated to the deity, pertaining to God</span>: <span class="greek2">ἱερά</span> <span class="greek2">γράμματα</span>, <span class="accented">sacred Scriptures,</span> because inspired by God, treating of divine things and therefore to be devoutly revered, <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/3-15.htm">2 Timothy 3:15</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities prooem. 3; (10, 10, 4 at the end); <span class="abbreviation">b. j.</span> 6, 5, 4; contra Apion 1 (10, 3; 18, 6); 26, 1; <span class="greek2">ἱεραι</span> <span class="greek2">βίβλοι</span>, Antiquities 2, 16, 5; (c.
