Berean Strong's Lexicon prosanaliskó: To consume completely, to use up, to spend Original Word: προσαναλίσκω Word Origin: From the preposition πρός (pros, meaning "towards" or "in addition to") and the verb ἀναλίσκω (analiskó, meaning "to consume" or "to spend"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "prosanaliskó," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to consumption or sacrifice, such as כָּלָה (kalah, meaning "to finish" or "to complete") and אָכַל (akal, meaning "to eat" or "to consume"). Usage: The verb "prosanaliskó" conveys the idea of consuming or using up something entirely. It implies a thorough or complete consumption, often with an emphasis on the direction or purpose of the consumption. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of consuming resources or energy, often in a metaphorical sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of consumption was often associated with the use of resources, whether for personal, communal, or religious purposes. The idea of consuming something completely could carry both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context. In a biblical context, consumption might be related to sacrificial offerings, personal sacrifice, or the dedication of resources for a divine purpose.
