Thayer's Greek Lexicon
σκιά, σκιᾶς, ἡ ((see σκηνή, at the beginning)), from Homer down, the Sept. for öÅì;
a. properly, shadow, i. e. shade caused by the interception of the light: Mar 4:32 (cf. Eze 17:23); Act 5:15; σκιά θανάτου, shadow of death (like umbra mortis, Ovid. metam. 5, 191, and umbra Erebi, Vergil Aen. 4, 26; 6, 404), ’the densest darkness’ (because from of old Hades had been regarded as enveloped in thick darkness), tropically, the thick darkness of error (i. e. spiritual death; see θάνατος, 1): Mat 4:16; Luk 1:79 (from Isa 9:1, where öÇìÀîÈåÆú).
b. a shadow, i. e. an image cast by an object and representing the form of that object: opposed to σῶμα, the thing itself, Col 2:17; hence, equivalent to a sketch, outline, adumbration, Heb 8:5; opposed to εἰκών, the ’express’ likeness, the very image, Heb 10:1 (as in Cicero, de off. 3, 17, 69nos veri juris solidam et expresssam effigiem nullam tenemus, umbra et imaginibus utimur).
