Strong's Lexicon ektenesteron: More earnestly, more fervently Original Word: ἐκτενέστερον Word Origin: Comparative form of ἐκτενής (ektenēs), meaning "earnest" or "fervent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκτενέστερον, the concept of fervency and earnestness in prayer can be seen in Hebrew words like תַּחֲנוּן (tachanun, Strong's H8469) meaning "supplication" or "earnest prayer." Usage: The adverb ἐκτενέστερον is used to describe an action performed with greater intensity, earnestness, or fervor. It conveys a sense of heightened dedication or zeal, often in the context of prayer or supplication. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, earnestness and fervor were highly valued in both religious and secular contexts. The concept of fervent prayer or action was not only a personal spiritual discipline but also a communal expectation. In the early Christian community, fervency in prayer and devotion was seen as a reflection of one's faith and commitment to God.
