Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1552: ἔκδηλοςἔκδηλος, ἔκδηλον (δῆλος), evident, clear, conspicuous: 2 Timothy 3:9. (Homer, Iliad 5, 2; Demosthenes, p. 24, 10; Polybius) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and "δήλος" (dēlos, meaning "clear" or "manifest").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκδήλος, similar concepts of clarity and manifest evidence can be found in Hebrew words such as גָּלוּי (galuy, Strong's Hebrew 1540), meaning "revealed" or "uncovered," and נִכָּר (nikar, Strong's Hebrew 5234), meaning "recognized" or "discerned." These terms convey the idea of something being made clear or evident, akin to the Greek ἐκδήλος. Usage: The word ἐκδήλος is used in the New Testament to describe something that is unmistakably clear or evident. It emphasizes the clarity or obviousness of a situation or fact. Context: The Greek term ἐκδήλος appears in the New Testament to underscore the clarity or obviousness of a particular truth or situation. It is used in contexts where the evidence or manifestation of something is undeniable and apparent to all. This term is found in Hebrews 7:15, where it is used to describe the evident nature of the change in priesthood. The verse reads: "And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears," (Hebrews 7:15, BSB). Here, the author of Hebrews is emphasizing the clarity of the argument regarding the priesthood of Jesus, drawing a parallel to Melchizedek to highlight the evident nature of this truth. The use of ἐκδήλος in this context serves to reinforce the certainty and manifest nature of the theological point being made.
