Berean Strong's Lexicon emer: Word, speech, saying Original Word: אֵמֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַר (amar), which means "to say" or "to speak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - λόγος (logos) - Strong's Greek 3056: Often translated as "word," "speech," or "reason," used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus as the divine Word (John 1:1). - ῥῆμα (rhema) - Strong's Greek 4487: Refers to an utterance or spoken word, emphasizing the spoken aspect of communication. Usage: The Hebrew word אֵמֶר ('emer) primarily refers to a "word" or "saying." It is used to denote a spoken word or utterance, often carrying the connotation of a message or declaration. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to divine communication, human speech, or proverbial sayings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, words held significant power and authority. The spoken word was seen as a vehicle for conveying truth, wisdom, and divine revelation. Prophets, kings, and sages were often recognized for their authoritative words, which could instruct, command, or foretell future events. The concept of "word" in Hebrew thought is closely linked to the idea of creation and order, as seen in the Genesis account where God speaks the world into existence.
