Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g129 Greek: haima

Blood:

(hence Eng., prefix haem--,), besides its natural meaning, stands,

(a) in conjunction with sarx, "flesh," "flesh and blood," Mat 16:17; 1Cr 15:50; Gal 1:16; the original has the opposite order, blood and flesh, in Eph 6:12; Hbr 2:14; this phrase signifies, by synecdoche, "man, human beings." It stresses the limitations of humanity; the two are essential elements in man's physical being; "the life of the flesh is in the blood," Lev 17:11;

(b) for human generation, Jhn 1:13;

(c) for "blood" shed by violence, e.g., Mat 23:35; Rev 17:6;

(d) for the "blood" of sacrificial victims, e.g., Hbr 9:7; of the "blood" of Christ, which betokens His death by the shedding of His "blood" in expiatory sacrifice; to drink His "blood" is to appropriate the saving effects of His expiatory death, Jhn 6:53. As "the life of the flesh is in the blood," Lev 17:11, and was forfeited by sin, life eternal can be imparted only by the expiation made, in the giving up of the life by the sinless Savior.

A-2 Noun Strong's Number: g130 Greek: haimatekchusia

Blood:

denotes "shedding of blood," Hbr 9:22 (haima, "blood," ekchuno, "to pour out, shed").

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g131 Greek: haimorrhoeo

Blood:

from haima, "blood," rheo, "to flow" (Eng., "hemorrhage"), signifies "to suffer from a flow of blood," Mat 9:20.

Notes:

(1) In Mar 5:25; Luk 8:43, different constructions are used, the translations respectively being "having a flowing of blood" and "being in (i.e., with) a flowing of blood."

(2) In Act 17:26 (RV, "of one;" AV, "of one blood"), the most authentic mss. do not contain the noun haima, "blood." So with the phrase "through His blood," in Col 1:14.

(3) For "bloody flux" in Act 28:8, AV, see DYSENTERY (RV).
