Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Field (Notes, p. 116) remarks that ";killing"; or ";slaying"; would be more adequate than ";death"; (AV, RV) as a rendering. Since even the AV of 2 Maccabees 5:13, which he notes, does not make ";unto the killing of him"; English, we must either keep ";death"; or substitute ";murder,"; which the tone of ἀναιρῶ would fairly justify : see sub voce.
