Strong's Lexicon Humenaios: Hymenaeus Original Word: Ὑμέναιος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word Ὑμήν (Hymen), the name of the Greek god of marriage. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Hymenaeus, as it is a Greek proper noun specific to the New Testament context. Usage: Hymenaeus is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a specific individual who is noted for his false teachings and departure from the truth of the Gospel. He is mentioned in the context of being a negative example of faith and doctrine. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes associated with deities or cultural figures. Hymenaeus, sharing a name with the Greek god of marriage, might have been expected to symbolize unity and harmony. However, in the New Testament, he is depicted as a divisive figure who strayed from the truth. This highlights the early church's challenges in maintaining doctrinal purity amidst various false teachings.
