Berean Strong's Lexicon horméma: Impulse, urge, inclination Original Word: ὁρμήμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ὁρμάω (hormáō), meaning "to set in motion" or "to rush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "horméma," the concept of inner impulse or inclination can be related to Hebrew terms like יֵצֶר (yetzer), which refers to the inclination or imagination of the heart, as seen in Genesis 6:5. Usage: In the New Testament, "horméma" refers to an internal drive or impulse that prompts action. It can denote both positive and negative inclinations, depending on the context. The term captures the idea of a strong inner motivation that leads to outward behavior. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "horméma" was often associated with the philosophical discussions of human behavior and ethics. Philosophers like Aristotle and the Stoics examined the nature of impulses and their role in moral decision-making. In the biblical context, understanding human impulses is crucial for discerning the spiritual condition of individuals and communities.
