Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּנִים (panim), meaning "face" or "presence."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term is ἔσω (G2082), which also means "inner" or "inside." This term is used in the New Testament to describe the inner man or the inward parts, often in a spiritual or moral context. For example, in Romans 7:22, Paul speaks of delighting in the law of God "in my inner being" (ἔσω ἄνθρωπον).

This lexical entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term פְנִימִי, its usage in the biblical text, and its theological implications, particularly in relation to sacred spaces and the concept of inner sanctity.

Usage: The word פְנִימִי is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is located on the inside or within, often in the context of the inner parts of a structure or a sacred space.

Context: • The term פְנִימִי appears in the context of describing the inner parts of the temple or tabernacle, emphasizing the sacred and set-apart nature of these spaces. It is used to denote areas that are not accessible to the general public, reserved for specific religious functions or personnel.
• In 1 Kings 6:27, the word is used to describe the inner sanctuary of Solomon's Temple: "He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, and they spread their wings so that the wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall; their wings also touched one another in the middle of the room."
• The use of פְנִימִי highlights the concept of holiness and separation, as the inner parts of the temple were considered the most sacred, where the presence of God was believed to dwell.
• The term can also be applied metaphorically to describe the inner aspects of a person, such as the heart or mind, indicating a focus on internal qualities or spiritual depth.
