2609. katagó
Strong's Lexicon
katagó: To bring down, to lead down, to lower

Original Word: καταγώ
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: katagó
Pronunciation: kat-ag-O
Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ag'-o)
Definition: To bring down, to lead down, to lower
Meaning: I lead down, bring down, either from a high place on land or to a lower (or actually to the sea-coast), or from the high seas to land.

Word Origin: From the preposition κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the verb ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "katagó," the concept of bringing down or lowering can be found in Hebrew verbs like יָרַד (yarad, Strong's H3381), which means "to go down" or "to descend."

Usage: The verb "katagó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing something or someone down from a higher place to a lower one. It can be used both in a literal sense, such as lowering a physical object, and in a metaphorical sense, such as bringing down a person in status or position.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "bringing down" could have various implications, from the literal act of lowering something to the more abstract idea of humbling or demoting someone. The term reflects a hierarchical view of the world, where positions and statuses were often seen in terms of higher and lower.
