    Comments: πιπράσκω and ἀποδίδομαι ({L:ἀποδίδωμι}[e]) may also be used to refer to selling a person into slavery. Note, for example, πιπράσκω in {S:04001802500020} (ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος πραθῆναι ‘his master ordered him to be sold as a slave’) and ἀποδίδομαι in {S:04400700900014} (οἱ πατριάρχαι ζηλώσαντες τὸν Ἰωσὴφ ἀπέδοντο εἰς Αἴγυπτον ‘the patriarchs were jealous of Joseph and sold him to be a slave in Egypt’).|In a number of languages, however, it may be important to use a distinctive term for selling a person into slavery. In fact, it may be necessary to describe the event rather explicitly, for example, ‘to receive money for handing a person over to someone else to be a slave.’|In {S:04500701400024} πιπράσκω is used figuratively in the phrase πεπραμένος ὑπὸ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ‘sold as a slave to sin,’ in the sense that sin is personified as the master.
