It is used to denote both pagan altars and, in some contexts, the altar in the Jewish temple. The term emphasizes the act of offering or sacrifice, central to worship practices.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, altars were central to religious practices, serving as the focal point for sacrifices to gods and goddesses. Similarly, in Jewish tradition, the altar was a critical component of the temple, where sacrifices were made according to Mosaic Law. The concept of the altar is deeply rooted in the idea of atonement and communion with the divine.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a platform, an altar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>altar (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 1041: βωμός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βωμός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βωμοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">βουνός</span></span>), <span class="accented">an elevated place</span>; very frequent in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, a raised place on which to offer sacrifice, <span class="accented">an altar</span>: <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-23.htm">Acts 17:23</a>.
