It conveys a sense of forceful or complete breaking, often implying destruction or the rendering of something into pieces. This term is used in contexts where physical breaking is involved, such as breaking bread or bones.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, breaking something often symbolized judgment or the end of a covenant. For example, breaking bread was a common practice in Jewish and early Christian meals, symbolizing fellowship and unity. The act of breaking could also signify the fulfillment of prophecy or divine intervention, as seen in the breaking of bones or objects as a sign of God's power or judgment.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2608: κατάγνυμι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατάγνυμι</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">κατεαξω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεαξα</span> (impv. <span class="greek2">κάταξον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/33-11.htm">Deuteronomy 33:11</a>); passive, 2 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεάγην</span>, whence subjunctive 3 person plural <span class="greek2">κατεαγῶσιν</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεαχθην</span> in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/31-25.htm">Jeremiah 31:25</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Jer. 48:25>) 25; (on the syllabic augment of these forms cf.
