Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "toward") and γνῶσις (gnōsis, meaning "knowledge").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπίγνωσις, the concept of deep, relational knowledge can be related to the Hebrew word דַּעַת (da'ath, Strong's Hebrew 1847), which also conveys the idea of knowledge, understanding, and discernment, often in a covenantal or relational context. Usage: The word ἐπίγνωσις is used in the New Testament to describe a profound and comprehensive understanding, often in the context of spiritual or divine knowledge. It is frequently associated with the knowledge of God, His will, and the truth of the Gospel. Context: ἐπίγνωσις is a significant term in the New Testament, appearing primarily in the Pauline epistles. It conveys the idea of a knowledge that is not merely intellectual but involves a relational and experiential aspect. This term is often used to describe the believer's understanding of God's nature, His purposes, and the truths of the Christian faith.
