Read John Trapp on Hebrews 6 →Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Of the doctrine of baptisms.—The meaning of these words has been much controverted. The order of the Greek has been thought to require the rendering baptisms of doctrine (or, teaching); and it has been believed that the writer in this manner seeks to characterise Christian baptism as contrasted with the Jewish lustrations. Matthew 28:19, “baptising them . . . teaching them,” is often quoted in favour of this view. The whole question of baptism amongst the Jews of the Apostolic age is full of difficulty, since the first references to the rite in connection with proselytes belong to a much later date. But, waiving this, we must surely regard it as most unlikely that the baptism…

If, as we believe, the writer of this Epistle was Apollos, he, as an original adherent “of John’s baptism,” might feel all the more strongly that the doctrine of “ablutions” belonged, even in its highest forms, to the elements of Christianity.

βαπτισμός (baptismos) refers to the act of dipping or washing, often associated with ceremonial or Christian baptism. It encompasses both Jewish purification rites and the Christian practice of baptism, as seen in verses like Colossians 2:12 and Hebrews 6:2. While some sources note its use in early Christian contexts, there is a distinction made between βαπτισμός and βάπτισμα, the latter focusing on the result of the act.

The Greek word διδαχή (i.e., *didachē*) means teaching or doctrine, derived from the verb for teaching. It encompasses both the act of teaching and the content taught, appearing in various New Testament contexts, such as in Mark and John. The term can also refer to military instruction in other literature, indicating a broader application beyond religious teaching.

The Greek word ἐπίθεσις (i.e., *epithesis*) is derived from ἐπιτίθημι and primarily means a 'laying on' or 'imposition,' particularly in the context of hands. It appears in the New Testament in references to the laying on of hands for blessings or ordination (Acts 8:18, 1 Tim. 4:14, 2 Tim. 1:6, Heb. 6:2). Additionally, it can denote an attack or setting upon, though this usage is less common.
ἐπίθεσις, -ews, 9, (ἐπιτίθημι), a laying on, imposition: τῶν χειρῶν, Acts viii. 18; 1 Tim. iv. 14; 2 Tim.i. 6; Heb. vi. 2. The imposition of hands, χειροθεσία, was a sacred [See ἐπιείκεια, ᾽ ΄ ἐπιθυμία rite transmitted by the Jews to the Christians, and employed in praying for another, or in conferring upon him divine blessings, especially bodily health, or the Holy Spirit (at the administration of baptism and the inauguration to their office of the teachers and ministers of the church): Gen. xlviii. 14; Num. xxvii. 18, 23; Deut. xxxiv. 9; 2K. v.11, etc.; Mt. xix.18; Mk. xvi. 18; Acts vi. 6; xiii. 3; xix. 6,ete. [See B. D. 5. v. Baptism (supplement) ; McCl. and Strong and Dict. of Chris. Antiq. 8, v- Imposition of Hands. ]
ἐπίθεσις. The only exx. we have found of this word are in the hostile sense of ‘‘setting upon,” ‘‘attack,” ‘‘machination,”’ e.g. P Rein 179 (B.C. 109) ére]t οὖν ὑπολαμβάνω [δ]ιὰ τῆς ἐπιθέσεως γεγονέναι Kavvaros, ‘comme j’ai lieu d’attribuer ce coup a une machination de Konnés” (Ed.), P Oxy II. 28315 (A.D. 45) ὃν Kal ἀγείοχα (1. ἀγήοχα) ἐπὶ σὲ μεθ᾽ ἱκανῆς τῆς γεγονοιίας μοι ἐπιθέσεως καὶ πληγῶν ἐπιφορᾶς, ““1 have > ἐπίθεσις 2 ! | The passive appears in | 265) | : ἐπικατάρατος τιμῶν τοὺς ἀρετῆι διαφέροντας πολλοί τε δόξης ἐπιθυμηταὶ γένωνται.

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

The Greek word τέ (te) is an enclitic copulative particle that functions similarly to the Latin '-que' and is used to denote a closer connection than the more general καί (kai).

χείρ (cheir) is a feminine noun meaning 'hand,' used in various contexts both literally and figuratively, such as power or agency. It appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in verses like Matthew 3:12 and Acts 11:21. The word is built from a root suggesting the idea of grasping, and it encompasses a range of uses, including physical actions and metaphorical expressions of authority.

The Greek word ἀνάστασις (i.e., *anastasis*) means a 'rising up' or 'resurrection.' It is derived from the verb ἀνίστημι and encompasses the idea of rising from the dead, particularly in a Christian context referring to Christ's resurrection. The term is used in various New Testament passages, including Matthew 22:23 and John 11:25, and can also refer to the general resurrection of the dead.

The Greek word τέ (te) is an enclitic copulative particle that functions similarly to the Latin '-que' and is used to denote a closer connection than the more general καί (kai). It appears primarily in the New Testament, especially in the book of Acts, and can mean 'and,' 'both,' or 'also.' Notably, it is used in verses like Matthew 28:12 and Acts 2:33.
τέ, enclitic copulative particle (= Lat. -que as καί = et, ac, atque), not very freq. in NT, more than two-thirds of the occurrences being in Ac.

νεκρός is an adjective meaning 'dead,' derived from a root associated with corpses. It describes both literal death and metaphorical states, such as spiritual death or being inactive. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including references to the dead (e.g., Mt 11:5) and spiritual conditions (e.g., Ro 6:13). The word can also function as a noun, referring to the dead as a group.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word κρίμα (krima) is derived from κρίνω (krino) and primarily means 'judgment' or 'decision.' It encompasses various contexts, including legal decisions, condemnations, and God's judgment, appearing in several New Testament verses such as Matthew 7:2 and Romans 2:2.

The Greek word αἰώνιος (iōnios) means eternal or everlasting, derived from αἰών (aiōn), which refers to an age or period. It encompasses concepts of both timelessness and perpetual duration, often used in contexts like life, salvation, and divine promises. Notably, it appears in passages such as Romans 16:26 and Hebrews 9:12. The lexicons generally agree on its meaning, with no significant disagreements noted.
