Basic HTML Version
“blood” shed by violence, e.g., Matt. 23:35; Rev. 17:6; (d) for the “blood” of sacrificial
victims, e.g., Heb. 9:7; of the “blood” of Christ, which betokens His death by the
shedding of His “blood” in expiatory sacrifice; to drink His “blood” is to appropriate the
saving effects of His expiatory death, John 6:53. As “the life of the flesh is in the blood,”
Lev. 17:11, and was forfeited by sin, life eternal can be imparted only by the expiation
made, in the giving up of the life by the sinless Savior.

B. Verb.
(

, 131), from
, “blood,”
, “to flow” (Eng.,
“hemorrhage”), signifies “to suffer from a flow of blood,” Matt. 9:20.¶
Notes:
(1) In Mark 5:25 and Luke 8:43, different constructions are used, the
translations respectively being “having a flowing of blood” and “being in (i.e., with) a
flowing of blood.”
(2) In Acts 17:26 (
RV
, “of one”;
KJV
, “of one blood”), the most authentic mss. do not
contain the noun
, “blood.” So with the phrase “through His blood,” in Col. 1:14.
(3) For “bloody flux” in Acts 28:8,

, see
DYSENTERY

BLOT OUT
@
(
# &
, 1813), from , “out,” used intensively, and
, “to wipe,”
signifies “to wash, or to smear completely.” Hence, metaphorically, in the sense of
removal, “to wipe away, wipe off, obliterate”; Acts 3:19, of sins; Col. 2:14, of writing;
Rev. 3:5, of a name in a book; Rev. 7:17; 21:4, of tears.
BLOW (Noun)
(

a slap or cuff,” is found in three places; of the maltreatment of Christ by the officials or
attendants of the high priest, Mark 14:65,
RV
, “received (according to the most authentic
mss.) Him with blows of their hands,” (
KJV
, “did strike Him with the palms of their
hands”); that they received, or took, Him would indicate their rough handling of Him;
John 18:22 and 19:3; in all three places the
RV
marg. gives the meaning (a), as to the use
of a rod.¶
So with the corresponding verb
, in Matt. 26:67. The soldiers subsequently
beat Him with a reed, 27:30, where
$
, “to beat,” is used;
occurs elsewhere in
Matt. 5:39. See
