Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From ἐν (en, "in") and καλέω (kaleō, "to call")Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐγκαλέω, similar concepts of accusation or bringing charges can be found in Hebrew words such as יָכַח (yakach, Strong's Hebrew 3198), which means "to reprove" or "to rebuke," and רִיב (riyb, Strong's Hebrew 7378), which means "to contend" or "to dispute." These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of legal and moral accountability. Usage: The verb ἐγκαλέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of bringing a formal accusation or charge against someone. It is often used in legal contexts where an individual is called to account for their actions. Context: The Greek verb ἐγκαλέω appears in several passages within the New Testament, primarily in the context of legal proceedings or accusations. It is a compound word formed from ἐν, meaning "in," and καλέω, meaning "to call." This term conveys the idea of summoning someone to answer for a charge or accusation, often in a judicial setting.
