Strong's Lexicon akuroó: To nullify, to invalidate, to make void Original Word: ἀκυρόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: akuroó Pronunciation: ah-koo-ROH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (ak-oo-ro'-o) Definition: To nullify, to invalidate, to make void Meaning: I annul, make of no effect, cancel. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and the word κύρος (kuros, "authority" or "validity") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of nullification in the Hebrew Bible can be related to words like בָּטַל (batal, Strong's H6565), which means to cease or to make void. Usage: The verb ἀκυρόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making something void or of no effect. It often refers to the nullification of laws, commands, or covenants, particularly in the context of religious or moral obligations. The term implies a deliberate action to render something ineffective or powerless. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal and contractual terms were significant, and the concept of nullifying agreements or decrees was well understood. In Jewish culture, the validity of the Law and traditions was a central concern, and any act of nullification would have been seen as a serious matter. The use of ἀκυρόω in the New Testament often challenges the Pharisaic traditions that were seen as superseding or nullifying the commandments of God.
