Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 2031: ἔποςἔπος, ἐπεος (ἐπους), τό, a word: ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν (see εἶπον, 1 a., p. 181a), Hebrews 7:9. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word ἔπω (epō), meaning "to speak" or "to say."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ἔπος does not have a direct one-to-one correspondence with a specific Hebrew word, but it can be conceptually linked to Hebrew terms that denote speech or word, such as דָּבָר (dabar, Strong's Hebrew 1697), which means "word," "matter," or "thing," often used in the context of divine communication or command. Usage: The term ἔπος is used in the New Testament to refer to a word or saying, typically with a focus on its significance or solemnity. It is less common than other Greek words for "word" such as λόγος (logos) or ῥῆμα (rhēma). Context: The Greek term ἔπος appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of a significant or weighty word or saying. It is used sparingly, highlighting its role in emphasizing the gravity or importance of the speech it describes. In classical Greek literature, ἔπος often referred to epic poetry or a formal declaration, and this sense of formality and importance carries over into its New Testament usage.
