Apoleipo is a compound of apo- ('away from') and leipo ('leave'), yielding a verb with two clearly opposed senses depending on voice. In its active, transitive use, it means to leave something or someone behind — Paul left his cloak at Troas (2 Tim 4:13), left Trophimus sick at Miletus (2 Tim 4:20), and left Titus in Crete to set things in order (Titus 1:5). Jude speaks of angels who 'left' their proper dwelling (Jude 1:6). But in the intransitive middle-passive, the meaning flips: something 'remains' or 'is left over.' The author of Hebrews uses this sense to argue that a sabbath rest 'remains' for God's people (Heb 4:9) and that no sacrifice 'remains' for deliberate sinners (Heb 10:26). Spanish captures this split neatly — dejé/abandonaron for the transitive, queda for the intransitive — while Hindi distinguishes छोड़ दिया (left behind) from बचती है / रह जाता है (remains), confirming the two senses are genuinely distinct across languages.
