Strong's Lexicon apagó: To lead away, to carry off, to take away Original Word: ἀπάγω Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπάγω, the concept of leading away or carrying off can be seen in Hebrew verbs like לָקַח (laqach, Strong's H3947) meaning "to take" or "to capture," and נָהַג (nahag, Strong's H5090) meaning "to drive" or "to lead." Usage: The Greek verb ἀπάγω (apagó) primarily means "to lead away" or "to carry off." It is often used in contexts where someone is being taken away, either physically or metaphorically. In the New Testament, it can refer to leading someone away to a place of judgment or captivity, or it can be used in a more figurative sense to describe leading someone away from truth or righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "led away" often had legal or judicial connotations. It could refer to the act of arresting someone and taking them to a place of trial or punishment. This reflects the societal structures of authority and justice prevalent in the first century. Additionally, the metaphorical use of "leading away" from truth or moral paths was a common theme in both Jewish and Hellenistic moral teachings.
