Strong's Lexicon ekdapanaó: To exhaust, to spend completely, to use up Original Word: ἐκδαπανάω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb δαπανάω (dapanáō, meaning "to spend" or "to expend"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκδαπανάω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like כָּלָה (kalah, meaning "to complete" or "to finish") and תָּם (tam, meaning "to be complete" or "to be finished"), which convey the idea of totality or completion. Usage: The verb ἐκδαπανάω is used to describe the act of spending or using up resources completely. It conveys a sense of total expenditure or exhaustion, often in the context of resources, energy, or effort. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the complete giving of oneself or one's resources for a purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of spending or expending resources was well understood, as it related to both economic transactions and personal efforts. The idea of exhausting resources was often associated with sacrifice and dedication, whether in the context of public service, personal relationships, or religious devotion. The use of ἐκδαπανάω in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the total commitment and self-giving expected of believers.
