Strong's Lexicon terephah: Prey, torn flesh, that which is torn Original Word: טְרֵפָה Word Origin: From the root verb טָרַף (taraph), meaning "to tear" or "to rend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "terepah" does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament, but related ideas of clean and unclean foods can be found in passages discussing dietary laws, such as Acts 10:14 and Romans 14:14. Usage: The term "terepah" refers to meat that has been torn by beasts, often considered unclean or unsuitable for consumption according to Jewish dietary laws. It is used to describe animals that have been killed by predators, emphasizing the state of being torn or ravaged. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, dietary laws were an integral part of religious and cultural identity. The Torah explicitly forbids the consumption of meat from animals that have died naturally or have been torn by wild beasts (Exodus 22:31, Leviticus 22:8). This prohibition was part of the broader Levitical code that sought to maintain ritual purity and distinguish the Israelites from surrounding nations. The concept of "terepah" underscores the importance of consuming only what is considered clean and properly slaughtered according to kosher standards.
