Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word אֵלִי (Eli), which is a form of the word אֵל (El), meaning "God."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H410: אֵל (El) • "God" Usage: The term Ἠλί is used in the New Testament as a direct address to God, specifically in the context of Jesus' crucifixion. Context: The Greek term Ἠλί appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' crucifixion narrative. It is found in Matthew 27:46, where Jesus, in a moment of profound agony, cries out, "Ἠλί, Ἠλί, λεμὰ σαβαχθανί;" which is translated as "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (BSB). This expression is a direct quotation from Psalm 22:1, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and the depth of Jesus' suffering on the cross. The use of Ἠλί underscores the intimate relationship between Jesus and the Father, even in the midst of His feeling of abandonment. This cry is a poignant moment that reflects both the humanity and divinity of Christ, as He experiences the weight of sin and separation from God on behalf of humanity.
