Strong's Lexicon dépou: Surely, indeed, perhaps Original Word: δέπου Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words δῆ (dē, meaning "certainly" or "indeed") and που (pou, meaning "somewhere" or "anywhere"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δέπου, similar expressions of certainty or emphasis can be found in Hebrew particles like אָכֵן (aken, meaning "surely") or אָמְנָם (omnam, meaning "truly" or "indeed"). Usage: The Greek particle δέπου is used to express a sense of certainty or assumption, often translated as "surely" or "indeed." It conveys a tone of confidence or expectation about a statement or situation. In the New Testament, it is used to affirm or emphasize a point, often in rhetorical questions or statements. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek literature, particles like δέπου were commonly used to add nuance to statements, reflecting the speaker's attitude or the expected response from the audience. Such particles were integral to the rhetorical style of the time, helping to convey subtle shades of meaning and emphasis. In the context of the New Testament, understanding these particles can provide insight into the tone and intent of the biblical authors.
