Strong's Lexicon ekduó: To strip off, to take off, to unclothe Original Word: ἐκδύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and δύω (duó, meaning "to sink" or "to go down"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκδύω, the concept of removing or changing garments can be seen in Hebrew words like פָּשַׁט (pashat, Strong's H6584), which means to strip off or undress. Usage: The verb ἐκδύω primarily means to strip off or take off clothing. It is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the act of removing or being divested of something, often in a spiritual or moral sense. The term can imply a transition from one state to another, such as moving from a state of sin to righteousness or from mortality to immortality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, clothing was not only a necessity but also a symbol of status, identity, and transformation. The act of removing one's garments could signify a change in status or role, such as a soldier laying aside armor or a person preparing for a ritual. In Jewish culture, clothing also held significant symbolic meaning, often representing purity, righteousness, or authority.
