Strong's Lexicon mólóps: Bruise, Wound Original Word: μώλωψ Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: mólóps Pronunciation: mo'-lops Phonetic Spelling: (mo'-lopes) Definition: Bruise, Wound Meaning: a bruise, stripe, left on the body by scourging. Word Origin: Derived from a primary word meaning "to bruise" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "mólóps" is חַבּוּרָה (chabburah), found in Isaiah 53:5, which also means "bruise" or "wound." Usage: The term "mólóps" refers to a physical bruise or wound, typically one that is visible and results from a blow or impact. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the suffering and afflictions borne by Christ for the sake of humanity's redemption. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, physical wounds and bruises were often seen as marks of suffering or punishment. In the context of the New Testament, the concept of a bruise takes on a deeper theological significance, symbolizing the suffering of Christ as a means of spiritual healing and redemption for believers. The imagery of bruises and wounds is rooted in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, particularly in the Suffering Servant passages of Isaiah.
