Berean Strong's Lexicon hekastos: each, every, every one Original Word: ἕκαστος Word Origin: Derived from a presumed compound of ἕκας (hekás, meaning "far off") and a derivative of ἵστημι (hístēmi, meaning "to stand"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hekastos," similar concepts of individuality and personal responsibility can be found in Hebrew words like אִישׁ (ish, meaning "man" or "individual") and כָּל (kol, meaning "all" or "every"). Usage: The Greek word "hekastos" is an adjective used to denote individuality within a group, emphasizing each member or part of a whole. It is often translated as "each" or "every" in English. In the New Testament, it is used to highlight personal responsibility, individual actions, or the distinctiveness of each person or thing within a collective. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of individuality was often overshadowed by the collective identity of family, tribe, or city-state. However, the New Testament's use of "hekastos" underscores the importance of personal responsibility and individual faith within the Christian community. This reflects a shift towards recognizing the value and accountability of each person before God, a theme that resonates with the biblical emphasis on personal relationship with God and individual moral agency.
