Strong's Lexicon rayon: Thought, purpose, aim, desire Original Word: רַעְיוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root רָעָה (ra'ah), which means "to see" or "to think." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1761: ἐνθύμησις (enthymēsis) - meaning "thought" or "reflection." - Strong's Greek 3540: νόημα (noēma) - meaning "thought" or "purpose." Usage: The Hebrew word "rayon" primarily refers to thoughts, purposes, or desires. It is used to describe the inner contemplations or intentions of a person. In the context of the Old Testament, it often conveys the idea of deep reflection or the motivations behind actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, thoughts and intentions were considered integral to one's character and spiritual state. The heart and mind were seen as the seat of wisdom and understanding, and thus, the concept of "rayon" was significant in evaluating one's moral and spiritual condition. The Hebrews placed a strong emphasis on aligning one's thoughts with God's will, as thoughts were believed to precede actions.
