Strong's Lexicon é: or, than Original Word: ἤ Word Origin: A primary particle of distinction between two connected terms Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek conjunction ἤ, similar functions are served by Hebrew particles such as אוֹ (o), which also means "or." Usage: The Greek conjunction ἤ (ē) is used to denote a choice or distinction between two alternatives. It often appears in comparative contexts, where it serves to contrast two ideas, objects, or actions. In the New Testament, it is frequently used in questions and comparisons, highlighting differences or offering options. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great until the Byzantine Empire, conjunctions like ἤ were essential for constructing complex sentences and expressing nuanced ideas. The use of ἤ reflects the Greek emphasis on logic and clarity in communication, which was a significant aspect of Hellenistic culture and thought.
