Strong's Lexicon kataleipó: To leave behind, to forsake, to abandon Original Word: καταλείπω Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and λείπω (leipó, meaning "to leave" or "to forsake"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - עָזַב (azab) - Strong's Hebrew 5800, meaning "to leave, forsake, abandon." - נָטַשׁ (natash) - Strong's Hebrew 5203, meaning "to leave, forsake, permit." Usage: The verb "kataleipó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of leaving something or someone behind, either physically or metaphorically. It can imply a positive action, such as leaving behind a legacy or inheritance, or a negative action, such as forsaking or abandoning someone. The term often carries a sense of finality or decisiveness in the action of leaving. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of leaving or forsaking was significant in both familial and social contexts. Leaving behind an inheritance was a crucial aspect of family life, ensuring the continuation of a family's legacy. Conversely, to forsake or abandon someone, especially in a familial or communal setting, was considered a serious breach of duty and loyalty. The New Testament usage of "kataleipó" reflects these cultural values, often highlighting the spiritual and relational implications of leaving or forsaking.
