It often conveys the idea of something that was once present or active but has now stopped or disappeared. This can refer to physical phenomena, such as the cessation of light, or metaphorical concepts, such as the failure of faith or strength.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of things ceasing or failing was often associated with natural phenomena, such as eclipses, which were seen as significant events. The term "ekleipó" would have been understood in this context as a powerful image of something that was once reliable or constant coming to an unexpected halt. In the biblical context, this term can also carry a spiritual or moral dimension, reflecting the transient nature of human strength and the need for reliance on God.<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/3007.htm">leipó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to leave out, leave off, by impl. to cease<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>come to an end (1), fail (1), fails (1), obscured (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 1587: ἐκλείπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκλείπω</span></span>;
