Strong's Lexicon egkléma: Accusation, charge Original Word: ἔγκλημα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐγκαλέω (enkaleō), meaning "to call in" or "to accuse." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "egkléma," the concept of accusation or charge can be found in Hebrew words such as שִׂטְנָה (sitnah, Strong's H7855) meaning "accusation" or "enmity," and קָטֵגוֹר (qatēgōr, a later term) meaning "accuser." Usage: The term "egkléma" refers to a formal accusation or charge brought against someone, typically in a legal or judicial context. It is used to denote the act of bringing a charge or the charge itself, often implying a serious allegation that requires a defense or response. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the concept of bringing formal accusations was a common practice. Accusations could be made in both civil and criminal cases, and the process often involved public hearings or trials. The term "egkléma" would have been understood in this context as part of the judicial proceedings where individuals were held accountable for their actions.
