Strong's Lexicon deiknumi: To show, to point out, to make known Original Word: δείκνυμι Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is רָאָה (ra'ah - Strong's H7200), which means to see or to show. Usage: The Greek verb "deiknumi" primarily means to show or to demonstrate something. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of revealing or making something known, often in a way that is clear and unmistakable. This verb can refer to both physical showing, such as pointing out a location, and metaphorical showing, such as revealing truth or knowledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of showing or demonstrating was an important part of teaching and rhetoric. Philosophers and teachers would often "show" their students the truth through logical demonstration and evidence. In the Jewish context, showing was also significant in terms of revealing divine truth or prophecy. The use of "deiknumi" in the New Testament often carries the weight of divine revelation, where God or Jesus reveals truths to humanity.
