Thayer's Expanded Definition

ῤήγνυμι (Matthew 9:17) and ῤήσσω (Homer, Iliad 18, 571; 1 Kings 11:31; Mark 2:22 R G L marginal reading; Mark 9:18 (Luke 5:37 L marginal reading; (see below))); future ῤήξω; 1 aorist ἔρρηξα; present passive 3 person plural ῤήγνυνται; from Homer down; the Sept. for בָּקַע and קָרַע ; to rend, burst or break asunder, break up, break through;

a. universally: τούς ἀσκούς, Mark 2:22; Luke 5:37; passive, Matthew 9:17; equivalent to to tear in pieces (A. V. rend): τινα, Matthew 7:6.

b. namely, εὐφροσύνην (previously chained up, as it were), to break forth into joy: Galatians 4:27, after Isaiah 54:1 (the full phrase is found in Isaiah 49:13; Isaiah 52:9; (cf. Buttmann, § 130, 5); in classical Greek ῥηγνύναι κλαυθμόν, οἰμωγήν, δάκρυα, especially φωνήν is used of infants or dumb persons beginning to speak; cf. Passow, under the word, 2, vol. ii., p. 1332{a}; (Liddell and Scott, under the word I. 4 and 5)).

c. equivalent to σπαράσσω, to distort, convulse: of a demon causing convulsions in a man possessed, Mark 9:18; Luke 9:42; in both passages many (so R. V. text) explain it to dash down, hurl to the ground (a common occurrence in cases of epilepsy); in this sense in Artemidorus Daldianus, oneir. 1, 60 a wrestler is said ῤῆξαι τόν ἀντιπαλον. Hesychius gives ῤῆξαι. καταβαλεῖν. Also ῥηξε. κατέβαλε. Cf. Kuinoel or Fritzsche on Mark 9:18. (Many hold that ῤήσσω in this sense is quite a different word from ῤήγνυμι (and its collateral or poetic ῤήσσω), and akin rather to (the onomatopoetic) ἀράσσω, ῤάσσω, to throw or dash down; cf. Lobeck in Alexander Buttmann (1873) Ausf: Spr. § 114, under the word ῤήγνυμι; Curtius, Das Verbum, pp. 162, 315; Schmidt, Syn., chapter 113, 7. See as examples Wis. 4:19; Hermas, mand. 11, 3 [ET]; Apostolic Constitutions, 6, 9, p. 165, 14. Cf. προσρήγνυμι.) (Compare: διαρηγνυμι, περιρήγνυμι, προσρήγνυμι.) [SYNONYMS: ῤήγνυμι, κατάγνυμι, θραύω: ῤήγνυμι to rend, rend asunder, makes pointed reference to the separation of the parts; κατάγνυμι to break, denotes the destruction of a thing's unity or completeness; θραύω to shatter, is suggestive of many fragments and minute dispersion. Cf. Schmidt, chapter 115]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For σεμνός, ";august,"; ";venerable,"; ";worthy of respect,"; as applied to persons, cf. Preisigke 4094.8 (A.D. 8) ἐλθόντες πρὸς τὴν σεμνὴν Ἶσιν, and PSI I. 41.9 (iv/A.D.), where a wife describes herself as sprung ἐκ σεμνῶν γονέων καὶ ε [ὐδ ]ο ̣κ ̣[ί ]μων. The adj. is very common in sepulchral inscrr., e.g. Kaibel 558.1f. (ii/A.D.)—

Σεμνὴν Πενελόπην ὁ πάλαι βίος, ἔσχε δὲ καὶ νῦν

σεμνὴν Φιλικίταν, οὐ τάχα μιοτέρην,

ib. 635 Καλλίτεκνον σεμνὴν ὅδε τύμβος ἔχει σε, Ἀφροδείτη, (ii/A.D.), 637.1 (ii/A.D.), 642.12 (iii/iv A.D.), and 673.6 (iii/iv A.D.).

For σεμνός in relation to places we may cite P Ryl II. 110.3 (A.D. 259) where Hermopolis is described as πόλεως τῆς μεγάλης [ἀρχαίας λ ]αμπρᾶς καὶ σεμνοτάτης, ";the great, ancient, illustrious and most august city"; : cf. P Lond 1157 verso.3 (A.D. 246) (= III. p. 110), and BGU IV. 1024viii. 7 (iv/A.D.) τὸ σεμονὸν (l. σεμνὸν) τοῦ βουλευτηρίου.
