Strong's Lexicon entimos: Honored, precious, esteemed Original Word: ἔντιμος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "en" (ἐν, meaning "in") and "timē" (τιμή, meaning "honor" or "value"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "entimos" is יָקָר (yaqar), which also means precious or esteemed. Examples include: - Isaiah 43:4 (BSB): "Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life." Usage: The Greek adjective "entimos" conveys the idea of something or someone being held in high regard, esteemed, or considered precious. It is used to describe individuals or things that are valued and respected, often due to their inherent worth or the honor bestowed upon them. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and social status were of paramount importance. Being considered "entimos" would imply a person or object held a significant place in society or was of great value. This concept of honor was deeply embedded in the social fabric, influencing relationships, social standing, and even legal matters. In the Jewish context, honor was also a key cultural value, often associated with one's standing before God and community.
