Strong's Lexicon amphoteroi: both Original Word: ἀμφότεροι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἄμφω (amphō), meaning "both." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יַחַד (yachad - Strong's H3162), which means "together" or "both." Usage: The Greek word ἀμφότεροι (amphoteroi) is used to denote "both" in the sense of two items or people being considered together. It emphasizes the inclusion of two distinct entities as a single unit or group. This term is often used in contexts where two parties, objects, or concepts are being discussed collectively. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of duality and balance was significant, often reflected in language and philosophy. The use of "both" in Greek literature and scripture underscores the importance of unity and partnership, whether in relationships, agreements, or theological concepts. The term would have been understood by contemporary audiences as emphasizing completeness or wholeness when two parts are joined.
