Strong's Lexicon duserméneutos: Difficult to interpret Original Word: δυσερμήνευτος Word Origin: From Greek δυσ- (dus-, meaning "difficult" or "hard") and ἐρμηνεύω (hermēneuō, meaning "to interpret" or "to explain") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "duserméneutos," the concept of something being difficult to understand can be related to Hebrew words like סָתַם (satham, meaning "to close" or "to shut up") or עָמֹק (amok, meaning "deep" or "profound"). Usage: The term "duserméneutos" is used to describe something that is challenging to explain or interpret. It implies a level of complexity or obscurity that makes understanding difficult. In the context of biblical texts, it often refers to teachings or concepts that require deeper insight or spiritual maturity to comprehend fully. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, interpretation and explanation were highly valued skills, especially in the context of rhetoric, philosophy, and religious teachings. The ability to interpret complex texts or ideas was seen as a sign of wisdom and learning. In the early Christian context, understanding the deeper meanings of Scripture and the teachings of Jesus was crucial for the development of doctrine and the spiritual growth of believers.
