Definition foam NASB Translation foaming (1). Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 876: ἀφρόςἀφρός, ἀφροῦ, ὁ, foam: Luke 9:39. (Homer, Iliad 20, 168; (others).) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἀφρός, meaning "foam."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἄφρος in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, as the concept of foam or froth is not directly paralleled in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, similar themes of transience and insubstantiality can be found in various Hebrew words that describe vanity or emptiness, such as הֶבֶל (hebel, Strong's Hebrew 1892), which conveys the idea of vapor or breath, symbolizing futility or fleetingness. Usage: The term ἄφρος is used in the New Testament to describe the frothy, insubstantial nature of certain things, often in a metaphorical sense to convey the idea of something that lacks substance or permanence. Context: The Greek word ἄφρος appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the transient and unsubstantial nature of certain phenomena. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is used to illustrate the fleeting and often deceptive nature of worldly pursuits or false teachings. The imagery of foam is particularly evocative, as foam is something that appears substantial but quickly dissipates, leaving no lasting impact.
