Berean Strong's Lexicon emphanizó: To make manifest, to reveal, to show, to declare Original Word: ἐμφανίζω Word Origin: From the Greek word ἐμφανής (emphanēs), meaning "manifest" or "visible." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "emphanizó," the concept of revealing or making known is present in Hebrew words such as גָּלָה (galah - Strong's H1540), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover." Usage: The verb "emphanizó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of making something known or visible. It often implies a revelation or a clear demonstration of something that was previously hidden or not fully understood. This term can refer to both physical manifestations and the revelation of spiritual truths. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of revelation was significant, both in religious and philosophical contexts. The act of making something known was often associated with divine or authoritative disclosure. In the Jewish tradition, revelation was central to understanding God's will and purpose, as seen in the Law and the Prophets. The New Testament usage of "emphanizó" reflects this background, emphasizing the revelation of God's truth through Jesus Christ and the apostles.
