Berean Strong's Lexicon apokrima: Answer, response Original Word: ἀπόκριμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀποκρίνομαι (apokrinomai), meaning "to answer" or "to respond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "apokrima," the concept of a divine or authoritative answer can be related to Hebrew terms like מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, Strong's H4941), meaning "judgment" or "decision." Usage: The term "apokrima" refers to a decision, judgment, or response. It is used in the context of a definitive answer or resolution to a matter, often implying a considered or authoritative reply. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of a formal response or decision was significant in both legal and philosophical contexts. Decisions were often made by authorities or councils and were expected to be respected and followed. The use of "apokrima" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of a decisive and authoritative answer.
