Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐξετάζω, similar concepts of examination and inquiry can be found in Hebrew words such as דָּרַשׁ (darash, Strong's 1875), meaning "to seek" or "to inquire," and בָּחַן (bachan, Strong's 974), meaning "to test" or "to examine." These Hebrew terms convey the idea of seeking understanding or testing the validity of something, akin to the Greek concept of ἐξετάζω.

Usage: The verb ἐξετάζω is used in the New Testament to describe a process of careful examination or investigation. It implies a thorough and detailed inquiry, often with the intent of discovering truth or understanding a matter more deeply.

Context: The Greek verb ἐξετάζω appears in the New Testament in contexts where a detailed and careful examination is required. It is used to describe the process of investigating or scrutinizing a matter to uncover the truth or to gain a deeper understanding. This term is often associated with legal or judicial settings, where evidence is examined to reach a verdict.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐξετάζω is used in Luke 23:14, where Pilate addresses the chief priests and the crowd regarding Jesus: "You brought this man to me as one who is inciting the people to rebellion. I have examined Him in your presence and have found no basis for your charges against Him." Here, the term conveys the idea of a thorough investigation conducted by Pilate to determine the validity of the accusations against Jesus.

The use of ἐξετάζω underscores the importance of careful and deliberate inquiry in matters of truth and justice. It reflects a commitment to understanding and discerning the facts before making a judgment or decision.
