Berean Strong's Lexicon hupodéma: Sandal, shoe Original Word: ὑπόδημα Word Origin: From the Greek verb ὑποδέω (hupodeō), meaning "to bind under" or "to put on shoes." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with footwear is נַעַל (na'al), Strong's Hebrew 5275, which also refers to a sandal or shoe. Usage: The term "hupodéma" refers to a type of footwear, specifically sandals or shoes, commonly worn in ancient times. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the footwear of individuals, often in the context of travel or daily life. The word emphasizes the practical aspect of protection and readiness for movement. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, sandals were the most common form of footwear. They were typically made of leather and consisted of a sole fastened to the foot with straps. Sandals were essential for protection against the rough terrain and harsh climate. In Jewish culture, removing one's sandals was a sign of reverence and humility, as seen in the account of Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:5). Sandals also symbolized readiness and preparation, as seen in the instructions for the Passover (Exodus 12:11).
