Strong's Lexicon patralóas: Parricide, father-murderer Original Word: πατραλῴας Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "πατήρ" (patēr), meaning "father," and "ἀλόας" (aloas), meaning "destroyer" or "murderer." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "patralóas," the concept of honoring one's parents is deeply rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in the Fifth Commandment (Exodus 20:12) and the severe consequences for cursing or striking one's parents (Exodus 21:15, 17). Usage: The term "patralóas" specifically refers to someone who kills their own father. It is a compound word that conveys the grave sin of parricide, highlighting the severity of such an act in both familial and societal contexts. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a category of sinners who are in direct violation of the commandment to honor one's father and mother. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, the family unit was of utmost importance, and the father was often seen as the head and protector of the family. The act of killing one's father was considered one of the most heinous crimes, not only because it violated familial bonds but also because it disrupted the social and religious order. Such an act was seen as a direct affront to God's commandments and the natural order He established. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for patrolóas, q.v.
