Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from Ἑβραῖος (Hebraios), meaning "Hebrew."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While Ἑβραϊστί itself does not have a direct Hebrew equivalent, it relates to the Hebrew language and culture. The term Ἑβραῖος (Hebraios), from which Ἑβραϊστί is derived, corresponds to the Hebrew word עִבְרִי (Ivri), which means "Hebrew" or "one from beyond."

Usage: The term Ἑβραϊστί is used in the New Testament to indicate that something is spoken or written in the Hebrew language. It appears in contexts where the original language of a statement or inscription is specified.

Context: The term Ἑβραϊστί is used in the New Testament to denote the Hebrew language, which was the language of the Jewish people. In the first century, Hebrew was primarily used in religious contexts, while Aramaic was commonly spoken among the Jewish population. However, the term Ἑβραϊστί in the New Testament often refers to what is more accurately Aramaic, the vernacular of the time, but is called Hebrew in the text.

The word appears in several key passages:

• John 5:2 (BSB): "Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades."
• John 19:13 (BSB): "When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, which in Hebrew is Gabbatha."
• John 19:17 (BSB): "Carrying His own cross, He went out to the place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha."
• John 19:20 (BSB): "Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek."
• Revelation 9:11 (BSB): "They have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon."
• Revelation 16:16 (BSB): "And they assembled the kings in the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon."

These references highlight the importance of the Hebrew language in identifying places and names significant to Jewish culture and religion. The use of Ἑβραϊστί underscores the connection between the New Testament narrative and its Jewish roots, providing a linguistic bridge between the Greek-speaking audience of the New Testament and the Hebrew traditions.
