Strong's Lexicon endeigma: Evidence, proof, indication Original Word: ἔνδειγμα Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἐνδείκνυμι (endeiknymi), meaning "to show" or "to demonstrate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "endeigma," the concept of evidence or proof can be related to Hebrew terms like אוֹת (oth, Strong's H226) meaning "sign" or "token," and מוֹפֵת (mopheth, Strong's H4159) meaning "wonder" or "miracle," which serve as signs or proofs of divine action. Usage: The term "endeigma" refers to something that serves as a demonstration or proof of a particular truth or reality. In the New Testament, it is used to describe evidence or a sign that reveals or confirms a deeper truth, often related to God's justice or righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of providing evidence or proof was crucial in legal and philosophical contexts. Demonstrating the truth of a claim was essential in both judicial proceedings and philosophical arguments. The use of "endeigma" in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on evidence as a means of establishing truth and justice.
