Strong's Lexicon neos: New, young Original Word: νέος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word νέω (neo), meaning "to be new" or "to be young." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2319 (חָדָשׁ, chadash): Meaning "new" or "fresh," often used in the Old Testament to describe new things or renewal, such as a new moon or a new song. Usage: The Greek adjective "neos" primarily denotes something that is new in terms of time or age, often referring to youth or recentness. It can describe a person who is young or something that is newly made or introduced. In the New Testament, "neos" is used to contrast the old with the new, emphasizing renewal or the beginning of something fresh. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, youth was often associated with strength, potential, and the future. The concept of "newness" was significant in both Jewish and Hellenistic cultures, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the breaking away from the past. In the context of the New Testament, "neos" can also reflect the new covenant established through Jesus Christ, contrasting with the old covenant of the Law.
