Strong's Lexicon écheó: To sound, to resound, to echo Original Word: ἠχέω Word Origin: From the Greek noun ἠχή (ēchē), meaning "sound" or "noise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἠχέω, the concept of sound or voice is often represented by words like קוֹל (qol), meaning "voice" or "sound," which is Strong's Hebrew #6963. Usage: The verb ἠχέω (écheó) is used to describe the act of producing a sound or causing something to resound. It conveys the idea of a sound that reverberates or echoes, often implying a loud or significant noise. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the spreading of news or a message that resonates with others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, sound played a significant role in communication, especially in public speaking and oral traditions. The concept of echoing or resounding was familiar in both natural and constructed environments, such as amphitheaters, where acoustics were designed to carry sound effectively. The metaphorical use of sound to describe the spread of news or ideas was a common literary device.
