Strong's Lexicon homoiós: Like, similar, resembling Original Word: ὅμοιος Word Origin: Derived from the base of ὁμός (homos), meaning "same" or "together." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is דָּמָה (damah - Strong's H1819), which means "to be like" or "to resemble." Usage: The Greek adjective ὅμοιος (homoiós) is used to express similarity or likeness between two or more entities. It often appears in parables and teachings of Jesus to draw comparisons between earthly and heavenly realities, or to illustrate moral and spiritual truths. The term emphasizes resemblance in form, nature, or character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of likeness was significant in philosophical discussions about forms and ideals, particularly in Platonic thought. In Jewish thought, likeness often related to the image of God in humanity and the call to reflect divine attributes. The New Testament usage of ὅμοιος reflects these cultural understandings, applying them to the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian community.
