   death per the will of the Jews.

   Why hide part of the Strongs concordance from people?   
   What is says is this...   
      
   G4716(Strong)   
      
   σταυρός   
      
   stauros   
      
   stow-ros’   
      
   From the base of G2476; astake or post (as set upright), that is,   
   (specifically) a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment);   
   figuratively exposure to death, that is, self denial; by implication the   
   atonement of Christ: - cross.   
      
   PS the cross beam was attached to the upright
