Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνεῖδον, the concept of conscience and moral awareness can be related to Hebrew terms such as לֵב (leb, "heart") and יָדַע (yada, "to know"), which often convey the idea of inner knowledge and understanding in the Old Testament. These terms reflect the Hebrew understanding of the heart as the center of moral and spiritual consciousness. Usage: The term συνεῖδον is used in the context of having a shared knowledge or awareness, often implying a moral or ethical consciousness. It can denote an internal awareness or a collective understanding among individuals. Context: The Greek verb συνεῖδον is a compound word that conveys the idea of shared knowledge or awareness. In the New Testament, it is often associated with the concept of conscience, where it reflects an internal moral compass or an awareness of right and wrong. This term suggests a deeper, often communal, understanding that goes beyond mere intellectual knowledge to include moral and ethical dimensions.
