Scripture passage in Genesis 1:1

ἅγιος
hagios (hágios) [hag'-ee-os]
G0040 Greek adjective / substantival masculine 233x
dedicated to the gods, sacred, holy

Primary meaning: dedicated to the gods, sacred, holy. Strong's: sacred (physically, pure, morally blameless or religious, ceremonially, consecrated). Lexical nuances: primarily, dedicated to the gods , sacred (Hdt.; rare in Att., never in Hom., Hes. and Trag., who use ἁγνός ), hence, holy , characteristic of God, separated to God, worthy of veneration. Its highest application is to God himself, in his purity, majesty, and glory: Lk 1:49 , Jo 17:11 , Re 4:8 . Hence of things and places which have a claim to reverence as sacred to God, e.g. the Temple: Mt 24:1...

Derivation: from (an awful thing) (compare G53 (ἁγνός), G2282 (θάλπω));
