Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - עַיִן (ayin) - Strong's Hebrew 5869, meaning "eye" or "sight." Usage: The term "omma" refers to the physical eye, the organ of sight. In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it describes the physical eyes of a person, while metaphorically, it can refer to spiritual perception or insight. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the eye was often seen as a window to the soul, a concept that carried over into Jewish and early Christian thought. The eye was not only a physical organ but also a symbol of understanding and discernment. In the biblical context, the eye is often associated with light and darkness, representing spiritual enlightenment or blindness.
