Strong's Lexicon themelioó: To lay a foundation, to establish, to ground Original Word: θεμελιόω Word Origin: From the Greek word θεμέλιος (themelios), meaning "foundation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3245 (יסד, yasad): To establish, to found - H4143 (מוסד, mosad): Foundation Usage: The verb "themelioó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of laying a foundation, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It conveys the idea of establishing something firmly and securely. In a spiritual context, it often refers to the foundational truths of the Christian faith or the establishment of believers in their faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of laying a foundation was crucial for the construction of buildings, ensuring stability and longevity. This imagery was easily understood by early Christians, who lived in a world where physical structures were a significant part of daily life. The metaphor of a foundation was thus a powerful illustration of spiritual truths, emphasizing the importance of a solid base in one's faith and life.
