Strong's Lexicon ekdélos: Clearly evident, manifest, obvious Original Word: ἐκδήλος Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and "δήλος" (delos, meaning "clear" or "manifest"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἐκδήλος," the concept of something being clear or manifest can be related to Hebrew words like "גָּלוּי" (galuy, meaning "revealed" or "uncovered") or "נִגְלָה" (niglah, meaning "made known"). Usage: The Greek adjective "ἐκδήλος" is used to describe something that is clearly visible or evident. It conveys the idea of something being unmistakably apparent or manifest to the observer. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the clarity or obviousness of a particular truth or fact. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, clarity and evidence were highly valued in rhetoric and philosophy. The ability to present ideas in a clear and manifest manner was considered a mark of effective communication and truthfulness. The use of "ἐκδήλος" in the New Testament reflects this cultural appreciation for clarity and the importance of manifest truth in the proclamation of the Gospel.
