① pert. to having a keen edge for cutting, sharp (so Hom. et al.; LXX; TestJud 1:4; JosAs 16:13; EpArist 60 and 276; Philo; Jos., Ant. 14, 422; Just., D. 127, 2 ὀξὺ ὁρῶν καὶ ὀξὺ ἀκούων [of God]; Mel., P. 78, 522 ἥλους ὀξεῖς) ῥομφαία a sharp sword (Ezk 5:1) Rv 1:16; 2:12; 19:15. δρέπανον a sharp sickle 14:14, 17f.

② pert. to being rapid in motion, quick, swift (Trag., Hdt. et al.; POxy 900, 7; 1412, 18 ὀξέως; LXX, Philo; Jos., Ant. 5, 261) w. aor. inf. (Ael. Aristid. 34 p. 665 D.: τὰ βέλτιστα πρᾶξαι ὀ.), in an elegantly precise aphorism: ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα their feet are swift (=‘sharp’ with their feet) when it comes to shedding blood Ro 3:15 (Ps 13:3)—B. 1034; 1069. DELG. M-M.

πούς, ποδός, ὁ (Hom.+ ‘foot’ in various senses)

① foot, of persons or (rarely in our lit.) animals, or the strange creatures of Rv

ⓐ w. focus on a body part: Mt 4:6 (Ps 90:12); 7:6; Mk 9:45ab al. W. κεφαλή J 20:12; 1 Cor 12:21; 1 Cl 37:5ab. W. χείρ or χεῖρες (Ps 21:17) Mt 18:8ab; 22:13; Lk 24:39, 40 v.l.; J 11:44; 1 Cor 12:15 (for the speculation about foot and hand concerning their relation to the whole body cp. Epict. 2, 10, 4). ὑποδήσασθαι τοὺς π. put shoes on the feet Eph 6:15 (in vivid imagery). Of listeners and pupils καθῆσθαι παρὰ τοὺς π. τινός sit at someone’s feet Lk 8:35; cp. 10:39. W. non-lit. mng. ἀνατεθραμμένος παρὰ τοὺς πόδας Γαμαλιήλ Ac 22:3 (schol. on Pla. 467b παρὰ πόδας τοῦ Σωκράτους). W. partial imagery (Synes., Ep. 17 p. 175c παρὰ πόδας ἀποδίδως τὴν χάριν) ἐτίθουν παρὰ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἀποστόλων 4:35; cp. vs. 37; 5:2. πίπτειν (q.v. 1bαב) εἰς τοὺς πόδας τινός Mt 18:29 v.l.; J 11:32 v.l.; ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ποδῶν τινος Rv 19:10; ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδ. Ac 10:25; παρὰ τοὺς π. τινός Lk 8:41; 17:16. πρὸς τοὺς π. τινός Mk 5:22; 7:25 (προσπίπτειν πρὸς κτλ.); J 11:32; Ac 5:10; 10:25 D (the gen. is easily supplied); Rv 1:17; Hv 3, 2, 3. προσπίπτειν πρὸς τοὺς π. τινί Ac 16:29 D. προσκυνεῖν ἐνώπιον (or ἔμπροσθεν) τῶν ποδῶν τινος Rv 3:9; 22:8. To wash feet, as expression of hospitality or humility (Gen 18:4; 19:2; TestAbr A 3 p. 80, 2 [Stone p. 8]; B 3 p. 107, 21 [St. p. 62] al.; JosAs 7:1): J 13:5f, 8–10, 12, 14ab (cp. λούω 2a); 1 Ti 5:10; cp. Lk 7:44a.—See HAlmqvist, Plutarch u. d. NT ’46, 75. Anoint feet (Anaxandrides Com. [IV B.C.] 40 μύρῳ … ἀλείφει τ. πόδας Καλλιστράτου; Eubulus Com. [IV B.C.] 90, 5f) Lk 7:46; cp. vs. 38c; J 12:3a; cp. 11:2. Kiss feet: Lk 7:38c, 45.—In Rv 10:1 πούς clearly means leg (cp. Lucian, Zeuxis 4, Pseudomant. 59 ποὺς μέχρι τοῦ βουβῶνος [groin]; Achilles Tat. 1, 1, 10; Aëtius p. 86, 2; PGiss 43, 14; PFlor 42, 9 and s. Charles, ICC Rv ad loc.).

ⓑ in special imagery: the one who is vanquished lies beneath the victor’s feet (Diod S 17, 100, 8 ῥιφέντος ἐπὶ γῆν ἐπιβὰς ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τῷ ποδί=[the victor] placed his foot on the neck of his foe, who had been thrown to the ground) τιθέναι τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου Mt 22:44; Mk 12:36; here Ps 109:1 is quoted; its wording acc. to the LXX is quoted more exactly as ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου Lk 20:43; Ac 2:35; Hb 1:13; 10:13; 1 Cl 36:5; B 12:10. For this in the same Ps.-quot. τιθ. ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας (αὐτοῦ) 1 Cor 15:25 (Plut., Mor. 1197c ὑπὸ πόδας τιθ.). πάντα ὑπέταξεν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ 1 Cor 15:27; Eph 1:22; these passages quote Ps 8:7, the exact wording of which in the LXX appears in ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ Hb 2:8.—συντρίψει τὸν σατανᾶν ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν Ro 16:20.—The earth as God’s footstool (Is 66:1) ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ (or, as LXX, μου) Mt 5:35; Ac 7:49; B 16:2. Cp. Rv 12:1 (on prob. anti-Isis thrust s. lit. cited EDNT III 144).—Acc. to a usage common also in the OT (Eur., Hipp. 661, Or. 1217) the feet represent the person who is in motion: οἱ πόδες τῶν θαψάντων those who have buried Ac 5:9. ὀξεῖς οἱ πόδες αὐτῶν ἐκχέαι αἷμα they are quick to shed blood Ro 3:15 (cp. Is 59:7). τοῦ κατευθῦναι τοὺς πόδας ὑμῶν εἰς ὁδὸν εἰρήνης to guide us in the way of peace Lk 1:79. Cp. Ro 10:15 (cp. Is 52:7).

② leg of a piece of furniture, leg (so Aristoph. et al.; Arrian, Anab. 6, 29, 5; SIG 996, 9f; PLond II, 402, verso 27; 30 pp. 10 and 12; POxy 520, 17) Hv 3, 13, 3.

③ measurement based on length of a human foot, foot (Hdt., also ins, pap) Hv 4, 1, 6; 4, 2, 1; cp. Ac 7:5 s. βῆμα.—RAC VIII 743–77; BHHW I 505f; B. 243. DELG. M-M. EDNT. TW.
