Word Origin: Genitive plural form of the first-person pronoun ἐγώ (egó)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is אֲנַחְנוּ (anachnu), meaning "we" or "us," though Hebrew pronouns do not have a direct genitive form like Greek.

Usage: The Greek pronoun ἡμῶν (hémón) is used to denote possession or association with the first person plural, translating to "our" or "of us" in English. It is commonly used in the New Testament to express collective ownership or relationship among believers or between believers and God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, the use of ἡμῶν reflects the communal and collective nature of early Christian communities. The pronoun emphasizes the shared faith, experiences, and responsibilities among believers. It also highlights the intimate relationship between the community and God, as seen in prayers and teachings of Jesus and the apostles.
