Strong's Lexicon hélios: Sun Original Word: ἥλιος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word for "sun." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8121 - שֶׁמֶשׁ (shemesh): The Hebrew word for sun, used similarly in the Old Testament to denote the physical sun and as a symbol of God's provision and righteousness. Usage: The term "hélios" refers to the sun, the celestial body that is the source of light and heat for the earth. In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it describes the physical sun in the sky, while metaphorically, it can symbolize God's glory, righteousness, and the light of Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the sun was often personified and worshiped as a deity, known as Helios. However, in the biblical context, the sun is a creation of God, serving His purposes and under His control. The sun's regular rising and setting were seen as a testament to God's faithfulness and order in creation.
