Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word σῆμα (sēma), meaning "a sign" or "a mark."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of signifying or indicating through signs in the Hebrew Bible is often associated with the Hebrew word אוֹת (oth), Strong's Hebrew 226, which means "sign" or "token." This word is used in various contexts to describe signs from God, such as the rainbow as a sign of the covenant (Genesis 9:12-13) or the signs performed by Moses before Pharaoh (Exodus 4:8-9).

Usage: The verb σημαίω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of indicating or signifying something, often through a symbolic or metaphorical action. It is used to convey the idea of making something known or clear, typically through a sign or a symbolic gesture.

Context: The Greek verb σημαίω appears in the New Testament in contexts where a deeper understanding or revelation is being communicated. It is often associated with prophetic or symbolic acts that reveal divine truths or future events. The use of σημαίω underscores the importance of signs and symbols in conveying messages that go beyond the literal or immediate understanding.

In the Gospel of John, σημαίω is used to describe how Jesus indicated the manner of His death. For example, in John 12:33, it is written, "He said this to indicate the kind of death He was going to die." Here, σημαίω is employed to show that Jesus was revealing a future event through His words, providing insight into the nature of His sacrificial death.

The use of σημαίω in the New Testament highlights the role of signs and symbols in God's communication with humanity. It reflects the biblical theme that God often uses symbolic actions or events to convey deeper spiritual truths and to guide His people in understanding His will and purposes.
