Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3051: λόγιον (logion) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to oracles or divine utterances, similar to the Hebrew concept of אִמְרָה as divine sayings.
• G5456: φωνή (phōnē) • While this Greek word primarily means "voice" or "sound," it can also refer to a spoken message or utterance, aligning with the broader concept of something said or communicated.

In summary, אִמְרָה (imrah) is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing the power and purity of God's words. It serves as a reminder of the importance of divine communication and the believer's responsibility to heed and cherish these sacred utterances.

Usage: The word אִמְרָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote sayings or words, particularly those of God. It is used to emphasize the authority and reliability of divine pronouncements.

Context: אִמְרָה (imrah) is a feminine noun that appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is frequently used in the Psalms to refer to the words or promises of God, highlighting their truth and faithfulness. For example, in Psalm 12:6, the psalmist declares, "The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold." Here, אִמְרָה underscores the purity and perfection of God's words. Similarly, in Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, אִמְרָה is used multiple times to express the psalmist's reverence for God's commandments and promises, as seen in verses like Psalm 119:11, "I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You."

The use of אִמְרָה in the Hebrew Bible often conveys a sense of divine authority and trustworthiness.
