It often implies a decisive or forceful removal, whether it be physical, such as cutting off a body part, or metaphorical, such as removing sin or guilt. The term can also be used in legal or covenantal contexts, indicating the annulment or cancellation of a decree or obligation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of removal or taking away was significant in various contexts, including legal, medical, and religious practices. The act of removing something could symbolize purification, healing, or the execution of justice. In Jewish culture, the removal of sin or impurity was central to religious life, often associated with sacrificial rituals and the Day of Atonement.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and <a href="/greek/138.htm">haireó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to take from, take away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cut off (3), take away (4), taken away (1), takes away (1), taking...away (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 851: ἀφαιρέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀφαιρέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀφαίρω</span>; future <span class="greek2">ἀφαιρήσω</span> (<a href="/interlinear/revelation/22-19.htm">Revelation 22:19</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> (from Erasmus, apparently on no Ms. authority; see <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>'s note)), and <span class="greek2">ἀφελῶ</span> (ibid. <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; on this rarer future cf.
