Berean Strong's Lexicon étoi: "either," "or," "indeed" Original Word: ἤτοι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek particle ἤ (ē), meaning "or," combined with τοι (toi), an emphatic particle. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἤτοι, as it is a Greek conjunction. However, similar functions in Hebrew might be served by conjunctions like אוֹ (o), meaning "or," which is used to present alternatives or choices. Usage: The Greek conjunction ἤτοι (étoi) is used to introduce an alternative or to emphasize a statement. It often appears in contexts where a choice or clarification is being presented. In the New Testament, it serves to connect clauses or phrases, providing a sense of emphasis or specification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek literature, conjunctions like ἤτοι were used to clarify or emphasize particular points within a narrative or argument. This usage is consistent with the broader Greek linguistic tradition, where precision and clarity in communication were highly valued. The use of ἤτοι in the New Testament reflects the Hellenistic influence on the language and style of the biblical texts.
