Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἡγέομαι, similar concepts of leadership and consideration can be found in Hebrew words such as נָגִיד (nagid, Strong's 5057) meaning "leader" or "ruler," and חָשַׁב (chashab, Strong's 2803) meaning "to think" or "to consider." These Hebrew terms reflect the dual aspects of leadership and cognitive evaluation present in ἡγέομαι. Usage: In the New Testament, ἡγέομαι is used to express leadership or guidance, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It is also used to convey the act of considering or regarding something in a particular way. Context: The Greek verb ἡγέομαι appears in various contexts within the New Testament, reflecting its versatile usage. It is often employed to describe leadership or authority, as seen in passages where individuals are called to lead or guide others. For example, in Hebrews 13:7, believers are instructed to "Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith."
