Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπεισαγωγή, the concept of introducing or bringing in something new can be related to several Hebrew terms that describe the act of bringing or introducing, such as בּוֹא (bo, Strong's Hebrew 935), which means "to come" or "to bring." This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of bringing something into a particular context or situation. Usage: This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the introduction of a new or additional element, often in the context of a legal or covenantal framework. Context: The term ἐπεισαγωγή appears in the New Testament in the context of the Epistle to the Hebrews. Specifically, it is found in Hebrews 7:19, which discusses the introduction of a better hope through which believers draw near to God. The passage contrasts the limitations of the old covenant with the superior promise of the new covenant established through Jesus Christ. The use of ἐπεισαγωγή highlights the transition from the old to the new, emphasizing the superiority and fulfillment found in the new covenant. This introduction of a "better hope" signifies a transformative shift in the relationship between God and humanity, made possible through the priesthood of Jesus, which is described as eternal and unchangeable. |
