Strong's Lexicon heis: One Original Word: εἷς Word Origin: A primary numeral Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H259 (אֶחָד, 'echad): Often used in the Old Testament to denote the number one or unity, as seen in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4). Usage: The Greek word "heis" is primarily used as the numeral "one." It signifies singularity and unity, often emphasizing the concept of oneness in various contexts. In the New Testament, "heis" is used to denote a single entity, whether it be a person, object, or concept. It is frequently employed to stress the uniqueness or exclusivity of something, such as the oneness of God or the unity of believers in Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, numbers held significant symbolic meaning. The number one, represented by "heis," was often associated with unity and primacy. In Jewish thought, the concept of oneness was central to the Shema, a declaration of the singularity of God: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4). This understanding of oneness carried into early Christian theology, where it underscored the unity of the Godhead and the church.
