Strong's Lexicon dierméneutés: Interpreter Original Word: διερμηνευτής Word Origin: From the Greek verb διερμηνεύω (diermēneuō), meaning "to interpret" or "to explain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διερμηνευτής, the concept of interpretation can be related to the Hebrew word פָּתַר (pathar), Strong's Hebrew 6622, which means "to interpret" or "to explain," as seen in the account of Joseph interpreting dreams in Genesis. Usage: The term διερμηνευτής refers to an interpreter or one who explains or translates languages. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe someone who interprets spoken words, particularly in the setting of spiritual gifts, such as the interpretation of tongues. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, interpreters played a crucial role in facilitating communication between people of different languages and cultures. This was especially important in a diverse empire where trade, governance, and cultural exchange required clear understanding. In the early Christian church, the gift of tongues and its interpretation were seen as manifestations of the Holy Spirit, serving to edify the church and communicate God's message.
