Berean Strong's Lexicon apostereó: To defraud, to deprive, to rob, to withhold Original Word: ἀποστερέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: apostereó Pronunciation: ah-pos-ter-EH-o Phonetic Spelling: (ap-os-ter-eh'-o) Definition: To defraud, to deprive, to rob, to withhold Meaning: I defraud, deprive of, despoil; mid: I endure deprivation; pass: I am bereft of. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and στερέω (stereo, meaning "to deprive" or "to rob"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of defrauding or depriving in the Old Testament can be related to Hebrew words such as גָּזַל (gazal, Strong's H1497), meaning "to rob" or "to take by force," and עָשַׁק (ashaq, Strong's H6231), meaning "to oppress" or "to defraud." Usage: The verb ἀποστερέω (apostereó) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of depriving someone of what is rightfully theirs, often with a sense of injustice or moral wrongdoing. It implies an unethical withholding or taking away of something, whether it be material possessions, rights, or due honor. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of justice and fairness was integral to societal norms. The act of defrauding or depriving someone was not only a legal issue but also a moral one. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish ethical teachings, emphasized fairness, justice, and the proper treatment of others, reflecting the broader biblical mandate to love one's neighbor and act justly.
