Berean Strong's Lexicon ayyeh: Where? Original Word: אַיֵּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵי (ay), which is an interrogative particle meaning "where?" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "where" is ποῦ (Strong's Greek 4226 - pou), which serves a similar interrogative function in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "ayyeh" is used as an interrogative adverb to ask about the location or presence of someone or something. It is often used in contexts of searching or questioning the whereabouts of a person or object. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, questions about location were not only practical but also carried deeper implications about presence, absence, and relationship. The use of "ayyeh" reflects a common human experience of seeking and the desire for connection or understanding. In the biblical narrative, such questions often lead to revelations about God's presence or the state of human relationships. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom ay Definition where?
