STRONGS NT 1212: δῆλος

δῆλος, δηλη, δῆλον (from Homer down), clear, evident, manifest: Matthew 26:73; δῆλον namely, ἐστιν it is manifest, evident, followed by ὅτι (4 Macc. 2:7; Xenophon, an. 1, 3, 9; others): 1 Corinthians 15:27 (here some would take the words adverbially and parenthetically, i. e. δηλονότι, manifestly, cf. Winer's Grammar, § 64, 2 a.); Galatians 3:11; 1 Timothy 6:7 (here L T Tr WH omit δῆλον). [SYNONYMS: δῆλος, φανερός: δῆλος, evident, what is known and understood, φανερός, manifest, as opposed to what is concealed or invisible; δῆλος points rather to inner perception, φανερός to outward appearance. Cf. Schmidt, chapter 129.]

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root word δέω (deō), meaning "to bind" or "to tie," though δῆλος itself is not directly related to binding but rather to clarity and manifestation.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δῆλος, the concept of clarity and manifest truth can be related to several Hebrew words that convey similar meanings, such as:

• H3045 יָדַע (yada'): To know, to perceive, to make known.
• H1540 גָּלָה (galah): To reveal, to uncover, to make known.

These Hebrew terms, like δῆλος, emphasize the act of making something known or clear, aligning with the biblical theme of revelation and understanding.

Usage: The term δῆλος is used in the New Testament to describe something that is clearly seen or understood. It emphasizes the clarity or obviousness of a matter or fact.

Context: The Greek word δῆλος appears in the New Testament to underscore the clarity and obviousness of certain truths or situations. It is used to describe things that are not hidden or obscure but are instead plainly visible or evident to all. This term is often employed in contexts where the truth of a matter is undeniable or where the evidence is so clear that it cannot be reasonably disputed.

In the Berean Standard Bible, δῆλος is used in passages that highlight the manifest nature of God's truth or the evident reality of a situation. For example, in Hebrews 7:15, the change in priesthood is described as "even more evident" (BSB), underscoring the clarity of the transition from the Levitical priesthood to the priesthood of Christ. This usage reflects the broader biblical theme of God's truth being revealed and made plain to humanity.

The use of δῆλος in the New Testament aligns with the biblical emphasis on revelation and understanding. It serves as a reminder that God's truths are not meant to be hidden but are to be made clear and accessible to those who seek them. The clarity denoted by δῆλος is a testament to the transparency and openness with which God communicates with His people.
