Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H4713: מִצְרִי (Mitsri) • Egyptian, referring to the people of Egypt.
• H4714: מִצְרַיִם (Mitsrayim) • Egypt, the land itself.

These Hebrew entries correspond to the Greek Αἰγύπτιος, providing a linguistic and cultural link between the Old and New Testament references to Egypt and its people.

Usage: The term Αἰγύπτιος is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals from Egypt or things related to Egypt. It appears in contexts that describe people, places, or events associated with Egypt.

Context: The term Αἰγύπτιος is used in the New Testament to denote individuals of Egyptian origin or those associated with the land of Egypt. Egypt, known as a place of both refuge and bondage in biblical history, plays a significant role in the narrative of the Israelites. In the New Testament, Αἰγύπτιος appears in several contexts:

• Acts 7:22: "So Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action." This reference highlights the advanced culture and knowledge of the Egyptians, which Moses, a key figure in Israelite history, was exposed to during his time in Egypt.

• Acts 21:38: "Are you not the Egyptian who incited a rebellion some time ago and led four thousand members of the Assassins into the wilderness?" This passage refers to a specific historical figure, an Egyptian who led a revolt, illustrating the political unrest and diverse influences present in the region during the first century.

The use of Αἰγύπτιος in the New Testament reflects the historical and cultural interactions between the Jewish people and Egypt. Egypt served as a backdrop for significant biblical events, from the sojourn of Abraham to the Exodus under Moses, and later as a place of refuge for the Holy Family (Matthew 2:13-15). The term encapsulates the complex relationship between the Israelites and the Egyptians, marked by periods of both conflict and coexistence.
