Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "phasis," the concept of revelation and declaration is prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures. Corresponding ideas can be found in Hebrew words such as נָגַד (nagad, Strong's Hebrew 5046), meaning "to declare" or "to make known," and גָּלָה (galah, Strong's Hebrew 1540), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover." These terms are used throughout the Old Testament to describe the act of God revealing His will and purposes to His people, often through prophets and divine interventions. Usage: The word "phasis" is not directly used in the New Testament of the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). However, its root and related forms are found in contexts where revelation, appearance, or manifestation is discussed. Context: The Greek term "φάσις" (phasis) is closely related to the concept of revelation and communication in biblical texts. Although the specific term does not appear in the New Testament, its root, φαίνω (phaino), is significant in understanding how divine truths and realities are disclosed to humanity. The verb form is often used in the context of God's revelation, such as the manifestation of Christ or the revealing of divine mysteries. For example, in the New Testament, the concept of light and revelation is central to the message of the Gospel, where Christ is described as the "light of the world" (John 8:12, BSB). This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God making His will and nature known to His people. |
