It conveys a sense of disrespect or disregard for something considered valuable or sacred. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the rejection or despising of spiritual truths or holy things.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the act of trampling something underfoot was a powerful symbol of domination and contempt. It was a common practice to demonstrate victory over enemies or to show disdain for something considered worthless. In a Jewish context, trampling sacred objects or places would be seen as a severe act of desecration, reflecting a deep disrespect for God and His commandments.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/3961.htm">pateó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to tread down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>stepping (1), trample...under (1), trampled under foot (3).<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 2662: καταπατέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταπατέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καταπάτω</span>; future <span class="greek2">καταπατήσω</span> (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-6.htm">Matthew 7:6</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεπάτησα</span>; passive, present <span class="greek2">καταπατοῦμαι</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεπατήθην</span>; "to tread down (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">κατά</span></span>, III. 1), trample under foot": <span class="greek2">τί</span> and <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/5-13.htm">Matthew 5:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-6.htm">Matthew 7:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-5.htm">Luke 8:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/12-1.htm">Luke 12:1</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> and following; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>); metaphorically, like the Latin<span class="latin">conculco</span>, <span class="accented">to trample on equivalent to to treat with rudeness and insult,</span> 2 Macc. 8:2, etc.; cf.
