Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Diminutive form of אִישׁ (ish), meaning "man."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for אִישׁוֹן in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of the "apple of the eye" can be related to Greek terms that describe the eye or vision, such as ὀφθαλμός (ophthalmos • Strong's Greek 3788), which means "eye." Usage: The word אִישׁוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the pupil of the eye, often metaphorically representing something precious or delicate that requires protection. Context: The Hebrew term אִישׁוֹן (Ishon) is a diminutive form of the word אִישׁ (ish), meaning "man," and is used to describe the pupil of the eye. This term is employed in a few key passages in the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of something cherished and in need of safeguarding. The imagery of the "little man of the eye" arises from the reflection one sees when looking into another's eye, resembling a tiny person.
