(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.

3: φόνος

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