In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of something that is fresh or newly established, particularly in relation to spiritual or covenantal concepts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "newness" was often associated with innovation and change. In the Jewish context, the idea of newness was significant in terms of covenantal relationships with God. The New Testament writers used "prosphatos" to emphasize the newness of the covenant established through Jesus Christ, contrasting it with the old covenant under the Law of Moses.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4372</b> <i>prósphatos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">4314</a> <i>/prós</i>, "towards, with" and <i>phenō</i>, "to kill, slaughter") – properly, purposefully kill ("slaughter"). <a href="/greek/4372.htm">4372</a> <i>/prósphatos</i> ("freshly-killed") is used only in Heb 10:20, describing "the new road" Christ has <i>successfully inaugurated </i>(<i>the NT era</i>)<i> by the sacrifice of Himself</i>.</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/4314.htm">pros</a> and a prim. root phen- (to slay, kill)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>freshly slain, generally new<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>new (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 4372: πρόσφατος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πρόσφατος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πρόσφατον</span> (from <span class="greek2">πρό</span> and <span class="greek2">σφάω</span> or <span class="greek2">σφάζω</span>; cf.
