Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G763: ἀσώματος (asōmatos) • While not a direct translation, this Greek term relates to the concept of being without a body, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual or non-physical entities, which can be linked to the idea of divine purpose or counsel.
G3598: ὁδός (hodos) • This Greek word means "way" or "path," and can be associated with the idea of a purpose or plan, as it denotes a course of action or direction, similar to the Hebrew concept of מוֹעֵצָה as a purposeful plan or counsel.
