Lexicon oude: neither, nor, not even Original Word: οὐδέ Strong's Exhaustive Concordance neither, not evenFrom ou and de; not however, i.e. Neither, nor, not even -- neither (indeed), never, no (more, nor, not), nor (yet), (also, even, then) not (even, so much as), + nothing, so much as. see GREEK ou see GREEK de HELPS Word-studies 3761 oudé (from 3756 /ou, "not" and 1161 /dé, "moreover") – properly, moreover not, neither indeed, not even, nor even. 3761 /oudé ("neither indeed," "nor indeed") introduces a statement that is negated factually and deductively (it occurs 137 times in the NT). That is, the negation rules out (invalidates) the statement that precedes it, and what naturally extends from it. This is analogous to the following: Because 100 is not enough, then neither are 90, 80, or 70 because they are all included in 100. Thus if "A" (100 in the previous example) is invalid, so is what necessarily follows (statement "B" – 90, 80, 70). [Regardless of how 3761 (oudé) is translated, it means: If "A" (the preceding statement) isn't true (valid) – then "B" (which extends from it) is also not valid. As in the previous example: If 100 is not enough (valid), then automatically neither are 90, 80, 70, etc.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom ou, and de Definition and not, neither NASB Translation all (2), cannot* (3), either (4), even (37), neither (4), no (4), no* (1), nor (64), nothing* (1), or (20), then (1). Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3761: οὐδέοὐδέ (from Homer down), a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of οὐ and δέ, and therefore properly, equivalent to but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. (On the elision of ἐ when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see Tdf. Proleg., p. 96; cf. WHs Appendix, p. 146; Winers Grammar, § 5, 1 a.; Buttmann, p. 10f) It signifies: 1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since τέ is adjunctive like the Latinque; but οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other ((?). There appears to be some mistake here in what is said about 'mutual exclusion' (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses made negative by οὔτε is close and internal, so that they are mutually complementary and combine into a unity, whereas clauses negatived by οὐδέ follow one another much more loosely, often almost by accident as it were; see Winer's Grammar, at the passage cited, and especially the quotations there given from Benfey and Klotz.) It differs from μηδέ as οὐ does from μή (which see ad at the beginning); after οὐ, where each has its own verb: Matthew 5:15 6:28; Mark 4:22; Luke 6:44; Acts 2:27; Acts 9:9; Acts 17:24; Galatians 1:17; Galatians 4:14; οὐκ οἶδα οὐδέ ἐπίσταμαι, Mark 14:68 R G L marginal reading (others, οὔτε ... οὔτε) (Cicero, pro Rosc.

However, similar negations in Hebrew might involve combinations of words like לֹא (lo, meaning "not") and וְ (ve, meaning "and"), which together can function to negate multiple elements in a sentence. Examples of Hebrew negations that might serve a similar function include לֹא... וְלֹא (lo... ve'lo, meaning "neither... nor"). Usage: This conjunction is used in the New Testament to connect negative clauses or phrases, emphasizing the exclusion or negation of both elements in the conjunction. It is often used to strengthen the negation by linking two or more negative statements. Context: The Greek conjunction "οὐδέ" is a significant term in the New Testament, appearing frequently to convey a strong sense of negation. It is used to link two or more negative statements, emphasizing that neither of the connected elements is true or applicable. This conjunction is often found in contexts where the speaker or writer seeks to deny multiple possibilities or actions, thereby reinforcing the overall negative assertion.
