Strong's Lexicon hémin: us, to us, for us Original Word: ἡμῖν Word Origin: Derived from the Greek pronoun ἡμεῖς (hēmeis), meaning "we" or "us." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew pronouns, the Hebrew equivalent for "us" in terms of function would be אֲנַ֫חְנוּ (anachnu) or לָ֫נוּ (lanu) in the dative sense. Usage: The Greek pronoun ἡμῖν (hémin) is used in the dative case, primarily to indicate the indirect object of a verb. It is translated as "us," "to us," or "for us" in English. This pronoun is often used to express actions or benefits directed towards a group that includes the speaker. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, Greek was the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean, and the use of pronouns like ἡμῖν was essential for conveying relational and communal aspects of early Christian teachings. The dative case, in particular, was crucial for expressing the nuances of giving, receiving, and relational dynamics within the early church communities.
