It often carries a metaphorical sense, indicating the complete and utter destruction or absorption of one thing by another. This term can be used both in a literal sense, such as swallowing food or drink, and in a figurative sense, such as being overwhelmed by emotions or circumstances.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the act of swallowing or consuming was often associated with power and dominance. The imagery of being "swallowed up" was used to describe the total defeat or destruction of an enemy. In the context of the New Testament, this term is used to illustrate the victory of life over death and the ultimate triumph of God's power.<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/4095.htm">pinó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to drink down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>devour (1), drank (1), drowned (1), overwhelmed (1), swallow (1), swallowed (2).<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 2666: καταπίνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταπίνω</span></span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">κατέπιον</span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">κατεπόθην</span>; (from <span class="abbreviation">Hesiod</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down); properly, <span class="accented">to drink down, swallow down</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-24.htm">Matthew 23:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/12-16.htm">Revelation 12:16</a>; <span class="accented">to devour,</span> <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/5-8.htm">1 Peter 5:8</a> (here <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="greek2">καταπιεῖν</span> by mistake; (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πίνω</span></span>, at the beginning)); <span class="accented">to swallow up, destroy,</span> passive, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/15-54.htm">1 Corinthians 15:54</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/5-4.htm">2 Corinthians 5:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/11-29.htm">Hebrews 11:29</a>; tropically, <span class="greek2">λύπη</span> <span class="greek2">καταποθῆναι</span>, to be consumed with grief, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/2-7.htm">2 Corinthians 2:7</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>devour, drown, swallow up. <p>From <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/4095.htm">pino</a>; to drink down, i.e. Gulp entire (literally or figuratively) -- devour, drown, swallow (up). <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/4095.htm">pino</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>καταπιειν καταπιείν καταπιεῖν καταπίεται καταπιέτω καταπίη καταπίνειν καταπίνεις καταπινοντες καταπίνοντες καταπίοι καταπίομα καταπίονται καταπίω καταπίωμεν καταπίωσιν καταποθη καταποθή καταποθῇ κατέπιε κατέπιέ κατεπιεν κατέπιεν κατεπίομεν κατέπιον Κατεποθη Κατεπόθη κατεποθησαν κατεπόθησαν katapiein katapieîn katapinontes katapínontes katapothe katapothē katapothêi katapothē̂i katepien katépien Katepothe Katepothē Katepóthe Katepóthē katepothesan katepothēsan katepóthesan katepóthēsan<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/23-24.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 23:24</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
