Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1454: ἔγερσιςἔγερσις, ἐγερσεως, ἡ (ἐγείρω "a rousing, excitation:" τοῦ θυμοῦ, Plato, Tim., p. 70 c.; a rising up, Psalm 138:2 Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐγείρω (egeirō), meaning "to raise" or "to awaken."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἔγερσις, the concept of resurrection is present in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in passages like Daniel 12:2, which speaks of many who "sleep in the dust of the earth" awakening to everlasting life. The Hebrew term קוּם (qum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand up," can be seen as a conceptual parallel, as it is used in contexts of rising or being raised, though not exclusively in the context of resurrection. Usage: The term ἔγερσις is used in the New Testament to describe the resurrection, particularly in the context of Jesus Christ's resurrection and the general resurrection of the dead. It emphasizes the action or event of rising. Context: The term ἔγερσις appears in the New Testament as a significant theological concept, primarily associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the future resurrection of believers. The resurrection is a cornerstone of Christian faith, symbolizing victory over death and the promise of eternal life. In the New Testament, ἔγερσις is used to convey the transformative power of God in raising Jesus from the dead, which serves as a guarantee of the believers' future resurrection. This concept is central to the apostolic preaching and is foundational to the hope of Christians, as it assures them of their own resurrection and eternal life through faith in Christ.
