Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word אַל (al) meaning "not" and מָנָה (manah) meaning "to be counted" or "to be reckoned."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Strong's Hebrew Number 492, אַלְמֹנִי, as it is a specific Hebrew term used for anonymity. However, the concept of an unspecified or anonymous person can be found in various Greek terms used in the Septuagint and New Testament, such as τις (tis), meaning "someone" or "a certain one." Usage: The word אַלְמֹנִי appears in the Hebrew Bible to refer to an unnamed or unspecified individual. It is used in contexts where the identity of the person is either unknown or deliberately left unspecified. Context: The term אַלְמֹנִי is found in the Hebrew Bible in contexts where anonymity is maintained. It is used in Ruth 4:1, where Boaz addresses a relative as "friend" or "such a one" when discussing the redemption of Naomi's land and marriage to Ruth. The use of אַלְמֹנִי in this passage serves to keep the identity of the relative unspecified, focusing instead on the legal proceedings and the role of Boaz as the kinsman-redeemer. The term underscores the narrative's emphasis on Boaz's actions and the fulfillment of the law, rather than the identity of the other relative. In the Berean Standard Bible, Ruth 4:1 reads: "Meanwhile Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the kinsman-redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken came along, and Boaz said, 'Come over here, my friend, and sit down.' So he went over and sat down."
