It emphasizes the singularity and uniqueness of an occurrence. In the New Testament, it often underscores the sufficiency and finality of an event, particularly in theological contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of something happening "once" carried significant weight, often implying completeness or perfection. In Jewish thought, the idea of a singular, definitive act was also important, especially in the context of sacrificial systems and covenantal promises. The New Testament writers, influenced by both Jewish and Hellenistic thought, used "hapax" to convey the definitive and unrepeatable nature of Christ's work.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a cop. prefix) and a prim. root pag-<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>once<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>once (9), once for all (3), once more (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 530: ἅπαξ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἅπαξ</span></span>, adverb, <span class="accented">once, one time</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> universally: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/11-25.htm">2 Corinthians 11:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-26.htm">Hebrews 9:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/3-20.htm">1 Peter 3:20</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>; <span class="greek2">ἔτι</span> <span class="greek2">ἅπαξ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28</a>f; <span class="greek2">ἅπαξ</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐνιαυτοῦ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-7.htm">Hebrews 9:7</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 2, 59, etc.). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> like Latin<span class="latin">semel</span>, used of what is so done as to be of perpetual validity and never need repetition, <span class="accented">once for all</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/6-4.htm">Hebrews 6:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/10-2.htm">Hebrews 10:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/3-18.htm">1 Peter 3:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-3.htm">Jude 1:3, 5</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">c.</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">ἅπαξ</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">δίς</span> indicates a definite number (the double <span class="greek2">καί</span> emphasizing the repetition, <span class="accented">both once and again</span> i. e.) <span class="accented">twice</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_thessalonians/2-18.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/philippians/4-16.htm">Philippians 4:16</a>; on the other hand, <span class="greek2">ἅπαξ</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">δίς</span> means (<span class="accented">once and again</span> i. e.) <span class="accented">several times, repeatedly</span>: <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/13-20.htm">Nehemiah 13:20</a>; 1 Macc. 3:30.
