Strong's Lexicon thrombos: Drop, Clot Original Word: θρόμβος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb "thrōskein," meaning "to leap" or "to gush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "thrombos," the concept of blood and its significance can be related to Hebrew words like דָּם (dam, Strong's H1818), which means "blood." Usage: The term "thrombos" is used in the New Testament to describe a thick, viscous drop, specifically in the context of blood. It conveys the idea of something that is coagulated or clotted, emphasizing the physical and intense nature of the substance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek medical texts, "thrombos" was used to describe clotted blood, a concept well understood in the context of physical trauma or intense emotional stress. In the Greco-Roman world, blood was often associated with life and sacrifice, and the imagery of blood clots would evoke strong reactions related to suffering and mortality.
