Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ῥέω (rheo), meaning "to speak" or "to say."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ῥητός, the concept of explicit or clearly stated words can be related to Hebrew terms such as אָמַר (amar, Strong's Hebrew 559), which means "to say" or "to speak," and דָּבַר (dabar, Strong's Hebrew 1696), which means "to speak" or "to declare." These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of spoken words or declarations, often in the context of divine communication. Usage: The word ῥητός is used in contexts where something is clearly articulated or distinctly stated. It emphasizes the clarity and explicitness of a statement or command. Context: The Greek term ῥητός appears in the New Testament to underscore the explicit nature of a statement or command. It is used to highlight the clarity and specificity with which something is communicated. In the context of biblical texts, ῥητός often pertains to divine instructions or declarations that are meant to be understood without ambiguity.
