Berean Strong's Lexicon emptuó: To spit upon Original Word: ἐμπτύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "on") and "πτύω" (ptuo, meaning "to spit"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the act of spitting in a contemptuous manner is found in passages like Job 30:10, where the Hebrew verb "רָקַק" (raqaq) is used. Usage: The verb "emptuó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of spitting upon someone, often as a gesture of contempt, insult, or humiliation. It conveys a strong sense of disdain and disrespect, typically directed towards an individual as a form of public shaming or mockery. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman cultures, spitting on someone was considered a profound insult and a sign of utter disrespect. It was a physical manifestation of scorn and was often used in contexts of derision or to express extreme contempt. In Jewish culture, spitting was also seen as a way to express rejection or to ritually cleanse oneself from impurity.
