Strong's Lexicon antallagma: Exchange, equivalent, compensation, ransom Original Word: ἀντάλλαγμα Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἀνταλλάσσω (antallassō), meaning "to exchange" or "to trade." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3724 (כֹּפֶר, kopher): Often translated as "ransom" or "atonement," this Hebrew term shares a similar concept of a price paid for redemption or compensation. Usage: The term "antallagma" refers to something given in exchange for another, often implying a trade or a substitute. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of a ransom or a price paid in exchange for something of great value, particularly in the context of spiritual or eternal matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of exchange was prevalent in both economic and social contexts. The idea of paying a ransom or providing compensation was well understood, especially in terms of freeing captives or slaves. This cultural understanding provides a backdrop for the New Testament's use of "antallagma" to describe the spiritual transaction involved in salvation.
