Berean Strong's Lexicon hémeteros: our, ours Original Word: ἡμέτερος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἡμεῖς (hēmeis), meaning "we" or "us." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἡμέτερος, the concept of collective possession or belonging can be seen in Hebrew pronouns like אֲנַחְנוּ (anachnu, "we") and שֶׁלָּנוּ (shelanu, "ours"). Usage: The Greek pronoun ἡμέτερος is used to denote possession or belonging, typically translated as "our" or "ours" in English. It emphasizes a collective ownership or association, often used in contexts where the speaker is identifying with a group or community. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of collective identity and belonging was significant, especially within familial, tribal, or civic groups. The use of ἡμέτερος would resonate with early Christian communities who saw themselves as a distinct group united by faith in Christ. This pronoun would reinforce the sense of shared beliefs and communal life that characterized the early Church.
