STRONGS NT 4271: πρόδηλος

πρόδηλος, πρόδηλον (πρό (d. α. and) δῆλος), openly evident, known to all, manifest: 1 Timothy 5:24f; neuter followed by ὅτι, Hebrews 7:14. ((From Sophocles and Herodotus down.))

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the prefix πρό (pro, meaning "before" or "forth") and δῆλος (dēlos, meaning "clear" or "manifest").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πρόδηλος, the concept of something being clear or manifest can be related to Hebrew terms such as נָגַד (nagad, Strong's 5046), which means "to declare" or "to make known," and בָּרוּר (barur, Strong's 1305), meaning "clear" or "pure." These terms similarly convey the idea of clarity and evident truth in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The term πρόδηλος is used in the New Testament to describe something that is clearly visible or evident, often in a moral or spiritual context.

Context: The Greek word πρόδηλος appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of something being unmistakably clear or evident. It is used to describe situations or truths that are so apparent that they require no further explanation or proof. This term emphasizes the clarity and obviousness of a matter, often in relation to moral or spiritual truths.

In the Berean Standard Bible, πρόδηλος is found in the following passage:

• Hebrews 7:14 (BSB): "For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests."

In this context, πρόδηλος underscores the evident truth of Jesus' lineage from the tribe of Judah, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and the clear distinction from the Levitical priesthood. The use of πρόδηλος in this passage serves to affirm the legitimacy and divine orchestration of Jesus' priesthood, which is not based on human lineage or tradition but on the power of an indestructible life.

The term is significant in theological discussions about the clarity of divine revelation and the evident nature of God's truth as revealed in Scripture. It suggests that certain truths are so manifest that they stand beyond dispute, inviting believers to recognize and affirm them with confidence.
