Another related term is שָׁמַד (shamad, Strong's H8045), meaning "to annihilate" or "to exterminate."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb ἐξολοθρεύω is used to convey the idea of complete destruction or annihilation. It implies a thorough and decisive action, often in the context of divine judgment or the removal of evil. The term is used to describe actions that leave no remnant or trace, emphasizing the totality of the destruction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, the concept of total destruction was often associated with divine judgment or warfare. The Greeks and other ancient cultures believed in the power of the gods to utterly destroy cities, peoples, or individuals as a form of punishment or purification. In the context of the Bible, this term reflects the seriousness of God's judgment against sin and rebellion, as well as His commitment to purifying His people and land from idolatry and corruption.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1842</b> <i>eksolothreúō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "completely out from," intensifying <a href="/greek/3645.htm">3645</a> <i>/olothreúō</i>, "destroy, slay") – properly, <i>totally</i> destroy, referring to a <i>complete loss</i> of inheritance (reward).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><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/3645.htm">olothreuó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to destroy utterly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>utterly destroyed (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 1842: ἐξολοθρεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐξολοθρεύω</span></span> and (according to the reading best attested by the oldest manuscripts of the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> and received by <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ὀλοθρεύω</span></span>)) <span class="greek2">ἐξολεθρεύω</span>: future passive <span class="greek2">ἐξολοθρευθήσομαι</span>; <span class="accented">to destroy out of its place, destroy utterly, to extirpate</span>: <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">λαοῦ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/3-23.htm">Acts 3:23</a>.
