Strong's Lexicon anexeraunétos: Unsearchable, inscrutable, unfathomable Original Word: ἀνεξιχνίαστος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "ἀν-" (an-, meaning "not") and "ἐξιχνιάζω" (exichniazo, meaning "to trace out" or "to investigate") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anexeraunétos," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like "חֵקֶר" (cheqer, meaning "search" or "investigation") as seen in passages like Job 5:9 and Psalm 145:3, which speak of God's unsearchable greatness. Usage: The term "anexeraunétos" is used to describe something that is beyond human understanding or investigation. It conveys the idea of something that cannot be fully comprehended or explored by human means. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the divine nature and attributes of God, emphasizing His infinite wisdom and knowledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the pursuit of knowledge and understanding was highly valued, with philosophers seeking to comprehend the mysteries of the universe. However, the use of "anexeraunétos" in the New Testament underscores the belief that God's ways and thoughts are far beyond human reasoning and cannot be fully grasped by human intellect. This reflects a common theme in Jewish thought, where the transcendence and mystery of God are acknowledged. HELPS Word-studies 419 aneksereúnētos (from 1 /A "not," which negates the intensified term, 1830 /eksereunáō, "search out diligently") – properly, impossible to fully investigate, no matter how great the effort (inquiry); unsearchable (inscrutable); impossible to discover; elusive, going beyond all human ability to even locate. 419 /aneksereúnētos ("unsearchable"), used only in Ro 11:33, refers to God's perfect wisdom in creating one people for Himself (composed of all OT and NT believers). Indeed, the Lord continuously does the unexpected, transforming the "ordinary" into the "extraordinary ordinary" (with its eternal value). Ro 11:33: "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable (419 /aneksereúnētos) are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!" (NASU).
