ἀνάθεμα, ατος, τό = ἀνατεθειμένον (ἀνατίθημι) ‘something placed’ or ‘set up’, H. Gk. form for the older (Hom. et al.) ἀνάθημα (Moeris 188; Phryn. 249 Lob.; s. SIG index).

① that which is dedicated as a votive offering, a votive offering set up in a temple (Plut., Pelop. 291 [25, 7]; 2 Macc 2:13; Philo, Mos. 1, 253) Lk 21:5 v.l.

② that which has been cursed, cursed, accursed (LXX as a rule=חֵרֶם: what is ‘devoted to the divinity’ can be either consecrated or accursed. The mng. of the word in the other NT passages moves definitely in the direction of the latter [like Num 21:3; Dt 7:26; Josh 6:17; 7:12; Judg 1:17; Zech 14:11, but also the curse-tablets from Megara, as IDefixWünsch 1, 17]) οὐδεὶς ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει• ἀνάθεμα Ἰησοῦς no one who speaks by God’s Spirit says ‘Jesus be cursed’ 1 Cor 12:3 (on this subject Laud. Therap. 22 ὅταν ὁ δαίμων ἀλλοιώσας τὸν ἐνεργούμενον, ἐκεῖνος ὅλος λαλεῖ, τὸ στόμα τοῦ πάσχοντος ἴδιον τεχναζόμενος ὄργανον=when the divinity has altered the one it has influenced, then it is altogether the divinity that speaks, for it has skillfully made the victim’s mouth its own instrument; NBrox, BZ n.s. 12, ’68, 103–11). As a formula ἀνάθεμα ἔστω Gal 1:8f. For this ἤτω ἀ. 1 Cor 16:22. Likew. ηὐχόμην ἀνάθεμα εἶναι αὐτὸς ἐγὼ ἀπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ I could wish that I myself would be accursed ( and therefore separated) from Christ Ro 9:3 (CSchneider, D. Volks-u. Heimatgefühl b. Pls: Christentum u. Wissensch. 8, ’32, 1–14; PBratsiotis, Eine Notiz zu Rö 9:3 u. 10:1: NovT 5, ’62, 299f).

③ the content that is expressed in a curse, a curse. The expr. ἀναθέματι ἀνεθεματίσαμεν ἑαυτοὺς μηδενὸς γεύσασθαι Ac 23:14 means that the conspirators bound themselves to the plot with a dreadful oath, so that if they failed the curse would fall upon them (ἀ. ἀναθεματίζειν as Dt 13:15; 20:17). S. Dssm., LO 74 (LAE 92f); Nägeli 49; Schürer II 432f; Billerb. IV 293–333: D. Synagogenbann.—S. also ἀνάθημα, a spelling that oft. alternates w. ἀνάθεμα in the texts, in so far as the fine distinction betw. ἀνάθημα=‘votive offering’ and ἀνάθεμα=‘a thing accursed’ is not observed.—GBornkamm, Das Ende des Gesetzes⁴ ’63, 123–32; KHofmann, RAC I 427–30.—EDNT I 80f. M-M. TW. Sv.

ἀναθεματίζω (s. ἀνάθεμα and DELG s.v. τίθημι p. 1117) fut. ἀναθεματιῶ LXX; 1 aor. ἀνεθεμάτισα. Pass. fut. 3 sg. ἀναθεματισθήσεται 2 Esdr 10:8; pf. ptc. ἀναθεματισμένον Num. 18:14 (LXX mostly=carry out a curse: Num 21:2f; Dt 13:16; 20:17; Josh 6:21 al.) to invoke consequences if what one says is not true

ⓐ trans. put under a curse τινά someone (cp. curse-tablets from Megara [IDefixWünsch 1, 5, 8, s. ἀνάθεμα 2]) pleonastically ἀναθέματι ἀ. ἑαυτόν Ac 23:14 s. ἀνάθεμα 3; ἀ. ἑαυτόν vss. 12, 21, 13 v.l. (cp. En 6:4 ἀναθεματίσωμεν πάντες ἀλλήλους μὴ … μέχρις οὗ …; ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἀλλήλους vs. 5).

ⓑ intr. curse ἤρξατο ἀναθεματίζειν καὶ ὀμνύναι means that Peter put himself under curses and took oaths in the course of his denial Mk 14:71 (OSeitz, TU 73, ’59, 516–19; HMerkel, CFDMoule Festschr., ’70, 66–71).—M-M. TW.
