Strong's Lexicon ki: for, because, when, if, surely, indeed Original Word: כִּי Word Origin: A primitive particle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3754 (ὅτι, hoti) - often used in the New Testament to mean "that," "because," or "since." - G1487 (εἰ, ei) - used for conditional clauses, similar to "if." Usage: The Hebrew conjunction "ki" is a versatile particle used to introduce various types of clauses, including causal ("because"), conditional ("if"), temporal ("when"), and emphatic ("surely" or "indeed"). It often serves to connect ideas, provide explanations, or introduce reasons within a sentence. Its usage is context-dependent, and it can convey different nuances based on the surrounding text. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew, conjunctions like "ki" were essential for linking thoughts and ideas, reflecting the oral tradition of storytelling and teaching. The Hebrew language, with its relatively limited vocabulary compared to modern languages, relied heavily on context and particles like "ki" to convey complex relationships between ideas. Understanding these connections was crucial for interpreting legal, historical, and prophetic texts within the Hebrew Bible.
