Definition: (originally: the olive branch held in the hand of the suppliant), supplication, entreaty.
2428 hiketēría – properly, an olive branch; (figuratively) earnest supplication for peace (relief, reconciliation), used only in Heb 5:7. [This is also the regular meaning of this term in secular antiquity, BAGD.] Heb 5:7: "In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications (2428 /hiketēría) with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety" (NASU). Jesus' supplications underline His unfathomable humility in identifying with our great need! [An olive branch, held in the hand of a suppliant, showed heartfelt "supplication, entreaty" (Souter). 2428 (hiketēría) in ancient times was frequently used of a suppliant carrying an olive branch as a token for "seeking peace."] Word Origin
from hiketérios; from adjective hiketés (a suppliant)
