Strong's Lexicon epanó: Above, over, on top of Original Word: ἐπάνω Word Origin: Derived from ἐπί (epi, meaning "on" or "upon") and ἄνω (ano, meaning "up" or "above"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἐπάνω," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew prepositions like עַל (al), which also means "on" or "upon." Usage: The Greek preposition "ἐπάνω" (epanó) is used to denote a position that is above or over something else. It often conveys a sense of superiority or covering, indicating a spatial relationship where one object is physically higher than another. In a metaphorical sense, it can also imply authority or dominance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, spatial relationships were often used to express social hierarchies and divine authority. The concept of being "above" or "over" was not only a physical description but also a metaphor for power and control. In the context of the New Testament, this preposition can reflect the cultural understanding of divine authority and the heavenly realm being "above" the earthly.
