katapateo describes treading on people or things, and in one verse treating the Son of God with grave contempt.

The predominant use describes physical treading on people or objects: crowds tread on one another, seed is trodden beside a road, and discarded or exposed things are put underfoot. Hebrews 10:29 applies the action to the Son of God in a clause about profaning covenant blood and outraging the Spirit of grace.

1. Treading on people or objects · dominant

   In Luke 12:1 the present active infinitive occurs as the gathered crowd tramples one another. In Luke 8:5 the seed beside the road is described with an aorist passive form, while Matthew 5:13 and Matthew 7:6 place what is thrown out or cast before animals under people's or animals' feet; the APB renders these clauses with "trampled" or "trample ... under their feet."

2. Treating the Son of God as underfoot · rare

   In Hebrews 10:29 the aorist active participle identifies the person who has acted toward the Son of God in a clause also speaking of profaning covenant blood and outraging the Spirit of grace. The APB renders the clause "has trampled underfoot the Son of God," presenting the action as contemptuous treatment rather than ordinary movement over an object.

   Hebrews 10:29

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "trampled," "trampled underfoot," and "trample... under their feet" across the cited clauses. Because it is a whole-verse translation, these phrases confirm the scenes without establishing finer distinctions by themselves.
