Strong's Lexicon né: Truly, indeed, yes Original Word: νέ Word Origin: A primary particle of strong affirmation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to the Greek particle "νέ," the concept of affirmation can be found in Hebrew words like "אָמֵן" (amen, Strong's H543), which also conveys certainty and truth. Usage: The Greek particle "νέ" is used to express strong affirmation or agreement. It is often translated as "truly," "indeed," or "yes" in English. This particle is used to emphasize the certainty or truthfulness of a statement, often in response to a question or to affirm a preceding statement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the use of particles like "νέ" was common in both written and spoken language to convey emphasis and certainty. The Greeks valued rhetoric and the art of persuasion, and particles played a significant role in enhancing the clarity and impact of communication. In the context of the New Testament, "νέ" would have been understood by Greek-speaking audiences as a strong affirmation, reinforcing the truth of the message being conveyed.
