1: σφαγή

(Strong's #4967 — Noun Feminine — sphage — sfag-ay' )

is used in two quotations from the Sept., Acts 8:32 from Isaiah 53:7 , and Romans 8:36 from Psalm 44:22; in the latter the quotation is set in a strain of triumph, the passage quoted being an utterance of sorrow.

"a stroke" (akin to kopto, "to strike, to cut"), signifies "a smiting in battle," in Hebrews 7:1 . In the Sept., Genesis 14:17; Deuteronomy 28:25; Joshua 10:20 .

3: φόνος

(Strong's #5408 — Noun Masculine — phonos — fon'-os )

"a killing, murder," is rendered "slaughter" in Acts 9:1; see MURDER.
