Strong's Lexicon ophiy,: Character, nature, disposition Original Word: עֱפִי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to cover or to be dark Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ophiy," the concept is similar to the Greek word "ἦθος" (ethos), which refers to character or moral nature. Strong's Greek entries that relate to character include G2239 (ἦθος) and G5156 (τροπός - tropos, meaning manner or way). Usage: The Hebrew word "ophiy" refers to the inherent character or nature of a person or thing. It is used to describe the intrinsic qualities or disposition that define an individual or entity. In the context of the Bible, it often relates to the moral and ethical attributes that are reflective of one's inner being. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, a person's character was of utmost importance, often seen as a reflection of their relationship with God. The concept of "ophiy" would have been understood as the essence of a person's moral and ethical makeup, which was expected to align with the laws and commandments given by God. The Hebrew understanding of character was deeply intertwined with one's actions and reputation within the community.
