Strong's Lexicon egersis: Resurrection, awakening Original Word: ἔγερσις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐγείρω (egeirō), meaning "to raise" or "to awaken." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew concept of resurrection is often linked to the word תְּחִיָּה (teḥiyyah), which also means "revival" or "resurrection." This concept is seen in passages like Daniel 12:2, which speaks of many who sleep in the dust of the earth awakening to everlasting life. Usage: The term "egersis" refers to the act of rising or awakening, particularly in the context of resurrection from the dead. It is used to describe the event of being raised to life, emphasizing the power and action of God in bringing the dead back to life. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the future resurrection of believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, concepts of life after death varied, with some philosophical schools denying any form of bodily resurrection. However, within Jewish thought, particularly among the Pharisees, there was a strong belief in the resurrection of the dead, which is reflected in the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian church. The resurrection of Jesus was a pivotal event for early Christians, serving as a cornerstone of their faith and hope for eternal life.
