Strong's Lexicon huperekchunnó: To pour out abundantly, to overflow Original Word: ὑπερεκχύννω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "over" or "beyond") and the verb ἐκχύννω (ekchunnó, meaning "to pour out"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperekchunnó," the concept of overflowing abundance is captured in Hebrew words like רַב (rav, meaning "abundant") and שָׁפַךְ (shaphak, meaning "to pour out"). Usage: The verb "huperekchunnó" conveys the idea of pouring out in an abundant or overflowing manner. It is used to describe an action that goes beyond the ordinary, emphasizing an excess or superabundance. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the outpouring of God's grace, love, or blessings in a manner that exceeds human expectations or limitations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of abundance and overflow was often associated with divine favor and blessing. The imagery of pouring out was common in religious rituals, where libations were offered to deities as a sign of devotion and gratitude. In the Jewish tradition, the idea of God's blessings being poured out is rooted in the Old Testament, where God's provision and favor are frequently depicted as overflowing.
