Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἔθω (ethō), meaning "to be accustomed" or "to be used to."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of ἔθος can be related to several Hebrew terms that denote custom or tradition, such as חֹק (choq, Strong's H2706) meaning "statute" or "ordinance," and מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, Strong's H4941) meaning "judgment" or "custom." These terms similarly convey the idea of established practices or laws within a community. Usage: The word ἔθος is used in the New Testament to describe customs or habitual practices, often in the context of religious or cultural traditions. It appears in various passages to highlight the established norms or practices of a group or individual. Context: The Greek term ἔθος is significant in understanding the cultural and religious practices during the time of the New Testament. It is often used to describe the customs that were integral to Jewish and early Christian life. For instance, in Luke 2:42, it is used to describe the annual pilgrimage of Jesus' family to Jerusalem: "When He was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Feast." This indicates a practice that was deeply ingrained in Jewish religious life.
