ἀνάθεμα G0331
a curse, something devoted to destruction, anathema
1. a curse, something devoted to destruction, anathema — A solemn pronouncement of divine ban, curse, or devotion to destruction; something or someone placed under God's curse or separated from the community. Both clusters represent the same concept in different grammatical cases — nominative ('let him be accursed,' 1 Cor 12:3; 16:22; Gal 1:8-9) and dative-instrumental ('with a curse,' Acts 23:14, binding themselves under an oath of self-imprecation). Multilingual evidence: Spanish 'anatema/maldición,' Hindi 'शापित/शापसे' (śāpit = cursed / śāp-se = with a curse), Arabic 'مَحْرُومًا/بِحِرْمٍ' (maḥrūman = excommunicated / bi-ḥirmin = with a ban, both from ح-ر-م), Korean '저주를/저주로' (jeoju-reul / jeoju-ro = curse in different case particles), Swahili 'laana/kwa kiapo' (laana = curse / kwa kiapo = with an oath). 6×
