Strong's Lexicon esthésis: Perception, discernment, understanding Original Word: ἐσθῆσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb αἰσθάνομαι (aisthanomai), meaning "to perceive" or "to discern." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "esthésis," the concept of discernment is present in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the word בִּינָה (binah), meaning "understanding" or "insight." Usage: In the New Testament, "esthésis" refers to the ability to perceive or discern, particularly in a moral or spiritual sense. It implies a depth of understanding that goes beyond mere intellectual knowledge, encompassing a sensitivity to spiritual truths and moral discernment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, perception and discernment were highly valued traits, often associated with wisdom and philosophical insight. The concept of "esthésis" would have resonated with early Christian audiences familiar with Greek philosophy, which emphasized the importance of understanding and wisdom.
