It can also imply touching or grasping with intent. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the act of taking hold of something, whether physically or conceptually.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of touching or seizing was significant in both physical and metaphorical contexts. The act of touching could imply a transfer of power or influence, as seen in various healing practices and religious rituals. The idea of seizing or fastening upon something also carried connotations of control or mastery, which were important in both military and philosophical contexts.<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/681.htm">haptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lay hold of<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fastened (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 2510: καθάπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καθάπτω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">καθηψα</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to fit or fasten to, bind on</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to lay hold of, fasten on</span> (hostilely): <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">χειρός</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτοῦ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-3.htm">Acts 28:3</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 257 (241)); <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">τραχήλου</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Epictetus</span> diss. 3, 20, 10.
