Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to distinguish or specify.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew term פְלֹנִי. However, similar concepts of anonymity or unspecified reference can be found in Greek through phrases or terms that convey generality or non-specificity, though these are not directly linked to a single Strong's Greek entry. Usage: The word פְלֹנִי appears in contexts where a specific person is referenced without naming them directly. It is used to maintain anonymity or to refer to someone in a general sense. Context: פְלֹנִי (Peloni) is a Hebrew term used in the Old Testament to denote an unspecified or unnamed individual. It functions similarly to the English phrase "so-and-so" or "such a one." This term is often employed in narrative contexts where the identity of a person is either unknown or deliberately left unspecified. For example, in the book of Ruth, Boaz refers to a closer kinsman as "Peloni Almoni" (Ruth 4:1), which is translated as "such a one" or "friend" in various English versions, including the Berean Standard Bible. This usage underscores the anonymity of the individual, focusing instead on their role or function within the narrative. The term reflects a cultural and linguistic practice of maintaining discretion or generality when specific identification is unnecessary or inappropriate.
