Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G513, ἀξίνη (axinē), which also means an axe. This Greek term appears in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 3:10 and Luke 3:9, where John the Baptist uses the imagery of an axe laid at the root of the trees to convey the urgency of repentance and the impending judgment. The parallel between the Hebrew קַרְדֹּם and the Greek ἀξίνη underscores the continuity of symbolic imagery across the Testaments, emphasizing themes of judgment and the necessity of bearing good fruit. Usage: The term קַרְדֹּם appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote an axe, often in contexts related to woodcutting or destruction. It is used both literally and metaphorically. Context: The Hebrew word קַרְדֹּם (qardom) is a noun that refers to an axe, a common tool in ancient times used for felling trees and cutting wood. The axe is mentioned in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, symbolizing both constructive and destructive power. In Deuteronomy 19:5, the axe is depicted in a scenario involving accidental death, illustrating its role in everyday life and the potential for unintended consequences. In 1 Samuel 13:20, the lack of axes among the Israelites highlights the Philistine oppression and control over metalworking. The metaphorical use of the axe is evident in passages like Jeremiah 46:22, where it symbolizes the destructive force of an invading army. The axe, therefore, serves as a multifaceted symbol within the biblical narrative, representing both the mundane aspects of daily labor and the profound themes of judgment and power.
