UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

Sense 1: pouring (or possibly sprinkling)

Semantic entry: 47.7

Semantic domains: Activities Involving Liquids or Masses

Subdomains: Movement of Liquids or Masses

Definition: the act of pouring something on or against something

Notes: Since in most contexts this act of πρόσχυσις τοῦ αἵματος is spoken of as ‘sprinkling,’ it may be preferable to employ ‘sprinkling’ in OET HEB 11:28, since πρόσχυσις may have acquired a generic sense which would include the specific act of sprinkling. See also 47.16: ῥαίνω / 47.16: ῥαντίζω / 47.16: ῥαντισμός.
