Deadly
Deadly
dedli: In the Old Testament two words are used in the sense of a mortal (Hebrew nephesh, hateful, foul) enemy (Psa 17:9), and in the sense of fatal disease, the destructiveness of which causes a general panic (Hebrew maweth, death, 1Sa 5:11).
In the New Testament we have in Rev 13:3, Rev 13:12 the expression deadly wound (Greek thanatos), better death-stroke, as in the Revised Version (British and American), and the phrases deadly thing, i.e. poison ( , thanasimon ti, Mar 16:18), and full of deadly poison (meste iou thanatephorou, Jam 3:8), said of an unruly tongue. Both Greek words convey the idea of causing or bringing death and occur in classical literature in a variety of uses in combination with the bite of venomous reptiles, deadly potions, mortal wounds and fatal contagion.
