Bible Word Meanings

Good evening, Friends. Have you ever wondered what a Bible word written in the English language means in Hebrew? What about Greek? As I was reading the Bible last evening, the thought came to me that it would be interesting that along with my regular post every day, I would pick a word to look up in both the Hebrew and Greek to see what they actually mean in those languages and see how they differ from our own. 

So today I will just be doing that and not try to do a regular post as I said today in my earlier post that it would be a very busy day and I may not get to one. 

Instead, I will give this a try and just see how it goes. And then tomorrow plan to go back to a regular post and do a word as well. 

So, for today's word, I am going to start with a name That name being God. What does the name God mean in Hebrew and Greek?

אלהים Hebrew:

Elohim is a Hebrew word that denotes “God” or “god.” It is one of the most common names for God in the Old Testament, starting in the very first verse: “In the beginning [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The name Elohim occurs over 2,500 times in the Tanakh. (source: gotquestions.org)

Greek:

the supreme Divinity, God, godly.

Of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with ho) the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very -- X exceeding, God, god(-ly, -ward).

So, there you go, Friends. I think this will be a interesting study for us and hope you do too. If you want more info about any of the above information, please go to those websites.

I hope you had a day of blessing. Take care and peace be unto you.
