Thusia — The Sacrifice (θυσία)

Philological & Historical Monography

Etymology & Roots

Thusia (θυσία) derives from the verb thuo (θύω — to immolate, to sacrifice, to offer as a sacrifice — also: to kill to eat sacrificed meat). The root thu- is linked to the Sanskrit dhu- (to shake, to swirl — the smoke of the sacrifice that swirls and rises). This image of the offering that ascends (smoke, incense, prayer) is central to the sacrificial semantics. The lexical family in the NT:

  • thusia (θυσία — sacrifice, offering — G2378: Mt 9:13; 12:7; Mk 9:49; 12:33; Lk 2:24; 13:1; Acts 7:41,42; Rom 12:1; 1 Cor 10:18; Eph 5:2; Phil 2:17; 4:18; Heb 5:1; 7:27; 8:3; 9:9,23,26; 10:1,5,8,11,12,26; 11:4; 13:15,16; 1 Pet 2:5)
  • thusiasterion (θυσιαστήριον — altar of sacrifice — G2379: Mt 5:23-24; 23:18-20,35; Lk 1:11; 11:51; Rom 11:3; 1 Cor 9:13; 10:18; Heb 7:13; 13:10; Jas 2:21; Rev 6:9; 8:3-5; 9:13; 11:1; 14:18; 16:7)
  • thuo (θύω — to sacrifice, immolate, kill to eat — G2380: Mt 22:4; Mk 14:12; Lk 15:23,27,30)

3. Abolition without fulfillment: Heb 10:9 says that Christ "does away with (anairei) the first in order to establish the second" — not in the sense of arbitrary abolition but of fulfillment: the Levitical system prefigured (skia — shadow — Heb 10:1) the unique thusia of Christ which realizes its truth.
