Senses
1. hang on a tree/cross (execution or physical suspension) — To hang or suspend someone or something physically, especially in the context of crucifixion or execution by hanging on a tree (xulon). Used of Christ's crucifixion in Acts 5:30 (kremasantes epi xulou) and Acts 10:39, of the criminals hung alongside Jesus in Luke 23:39 (kremasthenton), of the curse of hanging in Gal 3:13 (kremamenos epi xulou, citing Deut 21:23), of a millstone hung around one's neck in Matt 18:6 (kremasthe), and of a viper hanging from Paul's hand in Acts 28:4 (kremamenon). Multilingual glosses uniformly reflect physical suspension: Arabic mu'allaq/ta'alluq, Hebrew talu/taluy, Hindi latakna, Korean maedal-da, Spanish colgar/colgado. 6×

2. hang upon, depend on (figurative) — Figurative use meaning 'to depend upon, to hang on' in the sense of being contingent or grounded. In Matt 22:40 Jesus declares that the whole Law and the Prophets 'hang' (krematai) on the two greatest commandments of love. The multilingual glosses reflect this figurative dependency: Arabic yata'allaqu (depends/is attached), Hebrew teluyah (hangs/depends), Hindi lamki hai (hangs), Korean dallyeo itda (is attached/depends), Spanish cuelga (hangs). This metaphorical extension from physical suspension to logical dependency is a genuinely distinct sense from the literal hanging of persons or objects. 1×
