Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `righteous anger, retribution' (Il.), also personified (Hes.); on the meaning below.

Derivatives: Νεμέσια n. pl. `Nemesisfeast' (D.), νεμέσιον n. appellativ. as plantname = ὠκιμοειδές (Ps.-Dsc.); Νεμεσεῖον (- ιον) `Nemesistemple' (hell. inscr.); νεμεσίτης λίθος m. name of a magic stone (Cyran.; Redard 58). Denominative verbs: 1. νεμεσ(σ)άομαι, - άω, aor. νεμεσ(σ)-ηθῆναι, - ήσασθαι, - ῆσαι, verbal adj. - ητός `become unwilling, rage, be perturbed' (Il.); analog. after other verbs in - άομαι, - άω (cf. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 358, Schwyzer 727), - σσ- beside - σ- (thus also νεμέσσι dat. sg. Z 335) also analogical-metrical (not with Schwyzer 321 from τι̯); νεμεσητικός `prone to perturbation' (Arist.), νεμεσήμων `unwilling, perturbed' (Call., Nonn.). -- 2. νεμεσίζο-μαι, only present and ipf., `id.' (Hom.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [763] * nem- `attribute'

Etymology: Formation in - τις (cf. γένεσις, Λάχεσις; s. on λαγχάνω), often connected with νέμω. So the meaning would be prop. *'the (right) assignment, the attribution, imputatio'; thus perhaps still in the usual ep. expression οὑ νέμεσις ( τινί) prop. `one cannot attribute (to somebody), i.e. not reproach, that...' (cf. Bischoff Gnomon 15, 549 n. 1). Further hypotheses in Holt Les noms d'action en - σις 75f., Benveniste Noms d'agent 79; also von Erffa Phil. Supp. 30: 2, 30ff.

① to influence one’s opinion about another so as to enhance the latter’s reputation, praise, honor, extol (Thu. 3, 45, 4; Polyb. 6, 53, 10 δεδοξασμένοι ἐπʼ ἀρετῃ; OGI 168, 56 [115 B.C.]; cp. ViJer 2 [Sch. 71, 5]; LXX; EpArist; Jos., Ant. 4, 183) τινά someone Mt 6:2; oneself Rv 18:7 (cp. 2 below); the Father Mt 5:16; God (SibOr Fgm. 1, 21) 9:8; 15:31; Mk 2:12; Lk 5:25f; 7:16; 13:13; 17:15; 18:43; 23:47; Ac 11:18; 21:20; Ro 15:6, 9; 1 Pt 2:12; MPol 14:3; 19:2; AcPl Ha 6, 13; τ. κύριον 20:1; Hv 3, 4, 2; AcPl Ha 7, 24 (δόξαι pap, perh. = δοξάσαι). ἔν τινι in the person of someone Gal 1:24 (FNeugebauer, In Christus, etc. ’61, 43); cp. 1 Cor 6:20; ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι (μέρει v.l.) τούτῳ in this name (that of a Christian) 1 Pt 4:16. κατὰ δὲ ὑμᾶς δοξάζεται among you God’s spirit is honored 4:14 v.l. ἐπί τινι for, because of someth. (w. αἰνεῖν) Lk 2:20 (s. Polyb. above); Ac 4:21; διά τινος and ἐπί τινι 2 Cor 9:13; διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ 1 Pt 4:11. W. εὐχαριστεῖν Ro 1:21 (the cardinal sin is not to be grateful for benefactions; reciprocity requires glorification of the benefactor, hence the freq. ref. in ins to the effect that one knows how to acknowledge benefits, e.g. IPriene 3, 26f; 6, 24–27); the name (Nicol. Dam.: 90 Fgm. 19 Jac. [in Jos., Ant. 1, 160] τοῦ Ἀβράμου ἔτι κ. νῦν τὸ ὄνομα δοξάζεται=revered) of God Rv 15:4 (Ps 85:9); Hv 2, 1, 2; 3, 4, 3 (Just., D. 41, 3). τὸ ὄνομα the name, i.e. God’s, IPhld 10:1 (cp.

② to cause to have splendid greatness, clothe in splendor, glorify, of the glory that comes in the next life (s. δόξα 1c) Ac 3:13 (cp. Is 52:13); Ro 8:30; B 21:1; J 7:39; 12:16, 23, 28; 13:31, 32; 17:1, 5, 10. It is a favorite term in J (s. Thüsing et al. s.v. δόξα, end), in which the whole life of Jesus is depicted as a glorifying of the Son by the Father: J 8:54; 12:28; 13:31; 17:1, 4 (cp. GCaird, NTS 15, ’68/69, 265–77) and, at the same time, of the Father by the Son: 13:31f; 14:13; 17:1. The glorifying of the Son is brought about by the miracles which the Father has him perform 11:4 (cp. PGM 7, 501ff κυρία ῏Ισις, δόξασόν με, ὡς ἐδόξασα τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ υἱοῦ σου ῟Ωρος; IAndrosIsis, Kyme 40 [s. also Peek’s comm. p. 63] spoken by the deity: οὐδεὶς δοξάζεται ἄνευ τ. ἐμῆς γνώμης), through the working of the Paraclete 16:14 and through ‘his own’ 17:10, who also glorify the Father 15:8, esp. in martyrdom 21:19 (on δοξάζεσθαι ἐν 13:31f; 14:13; 15:8; 17:10 cp. Diod S 12, 36, 2; 16, 82, 7 ἐν συνέσει δεδοξασμένος; Sir 48:4; 1 Macc 2:64).—2 Cor 3:10; τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου Ac 13:48; cp. 2 Th 3:1; B 6:16 (Is 49:5); IPol 8:1. χαρὰ δεδοξασμένη joy filled w. glory 1 Pt 1:8; Pol 1:3. οὐχ ἑαυτὸν ἐδόξασεν γενηθῆναι ἀρχιερέα he did not presume for himself the prestige of the high priesthood Hb 5:5.—On Rv 18:7 s. 1, above. δοξάζοντες J 11:31 v.l.

κατακληρονομέω (s. κληρονομέω) fut. κατακληρονομήσω LXX for נָחַל, יָרַשׁ al.; 1 aor. κατεκληρονόμησα; aor. pass. κατεκληρονομήθην (s. κλῆρος; LXX; TestSol 9:5 P; TestBenj 10:5). The term κληρός primarily means a lot cast in a transaction, then that which is assigned by lot. The transferred sense ‘inheritance’ is readily derived from a testator’s right to make an assignment, ordinarily of a portion of property. The verb κληρονομέω therefore refers to deeding of property. In the following passages the focus of the compound verb κ. is on the right of possession of a distributed portion:

① to assign possession of, give (over) as rightful possession (Dt 3:28; 12:10; 31:7 al.) τὶ someth. a country Ac 13:19 (v.l. κατεκληροδότησεν).

② to lay claim to someth. that has been assigned, take possession of, occupy (Num 13:30; Dt 2:21; Ps 36:34) B 6:8.—DELG s.v. κλῆρος. TW.

λαγχάνω 2 aor. ἔλαχον, subj. λάχω, ptc. λαχών; pf. 3 sg. εἴληχεν (Ath., R. 13 p. 63, 27; LMelazzo, Glotta 71, ’93, 30–33), ptc. λελογχώς 3 Macc 6:1 (Hom.+) for its constr. s. B-D-F §171, 2; Rob. 509. Pass. of κληρόω.

① to obtain someth. as a portion, receive, obtain (by lot, or by divine will; Hom.+; IPriene 205, 2; PTebt II, 382, 5; 383, 14) τὶ someth. ἔλαχεν τὸν κλῆρον τῆς διακονίας ταύτης Ac 1:17. πίστιν 2 Pt 1:1.

② to be selected through casting of lots, be appointed/ chosen by lot (Hom. et al.; Pla., Pol. 290e ὁ λαχὼν βασιλεύς; SIG 486, 9; 762, 12 λαχὼν ἱερεύς. Oft. used sim. in ins; Jos., Bell. 3, 390. In the broader sense ‘befall’: ApcMos 15 τὸ λαχὸν αὐτοῦ μέρος ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ.) ἔλαχεν τοῦ θυμιᾶσαι he was chosen by lot to burn incense Lk 1:9 (on the constr. s. B-D-F §400, 3; Rob. 1060; 1 Km 14:47 v.l. Σαοὺλ ἔλαχεν τοῦ βασιλεύειν).

③ to allot a portion or make an assignment by casting lots, cast lots (Isocr. 7, 23; Diod S 4, 63, 3b) περί τινος for someth. (Ps.-Demosth. 21 Hyp. 2 §3.—B-D-F §229, 2; s. Rob. 509) J 19:24. λάχετέ μοι ὧδε, τίς νήσει τὸν χρυσόν cast lots, now, for the one who will weave the gold (for the temple curtain) GJs 10:2, w. some mss. adding καὶ ἔλαχεν τὴν Μαρίαν ἡ ἀληθινὴ πορφύρα and to Mary fell the lot of (weaving) real purple (i.e. high-quality fabric colored with the dye of shellfish rather than cheap imitations made w. vegetable or other dyes).—DELG. M-M. TW. Spicq. Sv.

σατάν, ὁ indecl. and σατανᾶς, ᾶ, ὁ (the former=Hebr. שָׂטָן 3 Km 11:14; Just., D. 103, 5; the latter Sir 21:27, also TestSol 1:1 D al.; TestJob; Test12Patr; ApcMos 17; Just.=Aram. סָטָנָא; for σατανος Lk 11:18 P⁷⁵ read σατανας) literally ‘adversary’, in our lit. only as title or name: (the) Satan, in a very special sense, the enemy of God and all of those who belong to God, simply Satan, the Enemy (on the concept of Satan s. the lit. s.v. διάβολος 2), almost always w. the art. (B-D-F §254, 1), without it only in Mk 3:23; Lk 22:3; 2 Cor 12:7 and in personal address.—Mt 4:10 (here, as well as in the two passages from Mt and Mk near the end of this entry, without the art. and in the voc.); Mk 1:13; 3:26; Lk 11:18; 22:31. W. διάβολος of the same being Rv 20:2; cp. 2:9f; Pol 7:1 (Just., A I, 28, 1 al.). The Lawless One (Antichrist) appears κατʼ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ σατανᾶ 2 Th 2:9. He incites people to evil (cp. Homeric usage LfgrE s.v. δαιμόνι[ος] col. 198; TestJob 41:5 Ἐλίους ἐμπνευσθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σ. ; 23:11 ὁ Σ. … ἐπλαγίαζεν αὐτῆς τὴν καρδίαν; cp. 26:6) Mk 4:15; Ac 5:3; 1 Cor 7:5; 2 Cor 2:11; Rv 12:9. Esp. guilty of instigating Judas’ evil deed by entering into this disciple Lk 22:3; J 13:27. Causing sickness Lk 13:16 (s. δέω 1b, end). Hence driven out in healings Mt 12:26; Mk 3:23. Hindering the apostle in his work 1 Th 2:18 (cp. Julian., Ep. 40 [68] p. 46, 19 Bidez-Cumont εἰ μή τι δαιμόνιον γένοιτο κώλυμα). Causing false beliefs to arise 1 Ti 5:15; hence the one who denies the resurrection and judgment is called πρωτότοκος τοῦ ς. Pol 7:1; Polycarp uses the same expr. in speaking of Marcion, Epil Mosq 3. Persecutions of Christians are also inspired by Satan Rv 2:13ab (on the θρόνος τοῦ ς. s. θρόνος 1bε); hence certain Judeans who were hostile to Christians are called συναγωγὴ τοῦ ς. Rv 2:9; 3:9. God will crush him Ro 16:20. Jesus saw Satan falling (or fallen) fr. heaven Lk 10:18 (Burton, Moods and Tenses §146 [deZwaan §148]; FSpitta, ZNW 9, 1908, 160–63; CWebster, ET 57, ’45/46, 52f: πες. is timeless and means ‘I watched him fall’). Imprisoned, but freed again after a thousand years Rv 20:7. ὁ ς. μετασχηματίζεται εἰς ἄγγελον φωτός Satan disguises himself as an angel of light 2 Cor 11:14 (TestJob 6:4 μετασχηματισθεὶς εἰς ἐπαίτην a beggar; ApcMos 17 ἐγένετο ἐν εἴδει ἀγγέλου; s. μετασχηματίζω; on the subject s. Windisch ad loc.). ἄγγελος σατανᾶ 2 Cor 12:7 (UHeckel, ZNW 84, ’93, 69–75); ἄγγελοι τοῦ ς. B 18:1 (ἄγγελος 2c). αἱ δυνάμεις τοῦ ς. IEph 13:1 (δύναμις 5). τὰ βαθέα τοῦ ς. Rv 2:24 (s. βαθύς 2). ἡ ἐξουσία τοῦ ς. the power of Satan Ac 26:18; ending of Mk in the Freer ms. ln. 6 (ἐξουσία 2); ibid. ln. 2 ὁ αἴων οὗτος … ὑπὸ τὸν ς. ἐστιν.—παραδοῦναί τινα τῷ ς. 1 Cor 5:5 (s. ὄλεθρος; cp. the Christ. ins New Docs 3, 83); 1 Ti 1:20 (s. on both passages παραδίδωμι 1b).—In Mt 16:23; Mk 8:33 Peter is called Satan by Jesus, because his attempt to turn Jesus aside fr. his divine assignment to accept the consequences of his involvement with humanity has made him a tempter of a diabolical sort, who might thwart the divine plan of salvation. This metaph. usage relates to the striking verdict Rv 2:9; 3:9 above (cp. διάβολος J 6:70; 8:44).—BNoack, Satanás u. Sotería ’48. 1369–80 (lit.). DBS XII 1–47. DNP III 269. DELG. M-M. EDNT.

Paul rejoices in supplying what his Master has left him to suffer (s. Photius, Ep. 253 p. 190–93, esp. p. 193, 77–82). After receiving his apostolic assignment, Paul assumes the burden of sufferings that would befall Christ were the latter to undertake the apostolic mission in person.
