Strong's Lexicon leimma: Remnant Original Word: λείμμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb λείπω (leipō), meaning "to leave" or "to forsake." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a remnant is שְׁאֵרִית (she'erit), Strong's Hebrew #7611, which also denotes a remainder or surviving group. Usage: The term "leimma" refers to a remainder or a remnant, specifically a small, surviving group of people. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a faithful group preserved by God amidst widespread unbelief or apostasy. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Bible, the concept of a remnant is significant in both the Old and New Testaments. Historically, the remnant refers to those who remain faithful to God despite the majority turning away. This idea is rooted in the experiences of Israel, where a faithful remnant often survived periods of judgment and exile. Theologically, the remnant represents God's ongoing commitment to His covenant promises, ensuring that His purposes are fulfilled through a faithful few.
