Verb diakōlyō (to hinder) in the Bible
(Translation from NRSV for the New Testament and Brenton for the Septuagint with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)
Matthew
| 3: 14 | John was hindering (diakōlyō) him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" |
Judith (LXX)
| 4: 7 | charging them to keep the passages of the hill country: for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to hinder (diakōlyō) them that would come up, because the passage was strait, for two men at the most. |
| 12: 7 | Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not hinder (diakōlyō) her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.
