Strong's Lexicon poiéma: Workmanship, creation, work Original Word: ποίημα Word Origin: From the Greek verb ποιέω (poieó), meaning "to make" or "to do." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "poiéma," the concept of God's creative work is reflected in terms like מַעֲשֶׂה (ma'aseh, Strong's H4639) meaning "work" or "deed," and יָצַר (yatsar, Strong's H3335) meaning "to form" or "to fashion." Usage: The term "poiéma" refers to something that has been made or created, emphasizing the craftsmanship or artistry involved in its creation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the work of God, particularly in relation to His creation and His work in believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "poiéma" was often associated with artistic and literary works, highlighting the skill and creativity of the creator. This term would have resonated with both Jewish and Gentile audiences in the early Christian church, as it conveyed the idea of intentional and purposeful creation, whether in art, literature, or the natural world.
