Strong's Lexicon epeiper: "since indeed," "because indeed" Original Word: ἐπείπερ Word Origin: Derived from the combination of "ἐπεί" (epei, meaning "since" or "because") and "περ" (per, an emphatic particle). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epeiper," similar causal conjunctions in Hebrew include "כִּי" (ki, meaning "because" or "for") and "אֲשֶׁר" (asher, meaning "that" or "which"). Usage: The conjunction "epeiper" is used to introduce a statement that is emphatically true or self-evident. It serves to strengthen the causal relationship between clauses, often highlighting a reason that is undeniable or universally acknowledged. In the New Testament, it is used to underscore the certainty or obviousness of a preceding statement. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, conjunctions like "epeiper" were employed to convey logical connections and emphases in discourse. The use of such terms reflects the rhetorical style of the period, where emphasis and clarity were crucial for effective communication, especially in theological and philosophical discussions.
