In the other Testament 3 words
καταβαίνω katabaínō · G2597 · to move down, to come down, to go down
Greek καταβαίνω serves as the standard Septuagint rendering of Hebrew יָרַד across its full semantic range of descending motion (physical downward movement, metaphorical descent, bringing/casting down).
καθαιρέω kathairéō · G2507 · to bring down, to lower, to take down
Greek καθαιρέω emphasizes the downward motion component of Hebrew יָרַד, particularly in contexts of bringing down, casting down, or lowering, often with implications of force or demolition; יָרַד has broader application including simple descent, going down, and non-violent downward movement.
κατάγω katágō · G2609 · to bring down, to lead down, to put in at
Greek κατάγω (katágō, G2609) specializes the downward-motion sense of Hebrew יָרַד (yârad, H3381) with the prefix κατα- (down) + ἄγω (lead), typically denoting 'to lead/bring down' or nautically 'to bring a ship down to shore/moor'; Hebrew יָרַד covers the broader semantic range of downward motion (descend, go down, bring down) without the specialized maritime register, making κατάγω a legitimate but register-narrower Greek equivalent for the 'bring down' sense.
