Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 5598: ΩΩ, Omega: omega, the last (24th) letter of the Greek alphabet: ἐγώ εἰμί τό Ω (WH Ω, L ὦ, T ὦ), equivalent to τό τέλος, i. e. the last (see Alfa, Α, ἆ, ἄλφα (and B. D. (especially American edition) under the word and article 'Alpha', also article Α and Ω by Piper in Herzog (cf. Schaff-Herzog), and by Tyrwhitt in Dict. of Chris. Antiq.)), Revelation 1:8, 11 Rec.; Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary exclamatory particle.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek particle ὦ does not have a direct equivalent in Hebrew, as it functions primarily as an exclamatory particle unique to Greek. However, similar expressions of direct address or exclamation can be found in Hebrew through various interjections or vocative forms, though they are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Hebrew entry. Usage: The particle ὦ is used in the New Testament to express a range of emotions, including lament, admiration, or earnest appeal. It is typically found in direct address, often preceding a noun or a name, to draw attention or to express a heartfelt sentiment. Context: The Greek particle ὦ appears in the New Testament as a tool for direct address, often introducing a statement with emotional weight. It is a versatile particle that can convey a variety of sentiments depending on the context. For instance, in Romans 11:33, Paul uses ὦ to express wonder and admiration at the depth of God's wisdom and knowledge: "O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" (BSB). Similarly, in Galatians 3:1, Paul uses ὦ to express frustration and disbelief: "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you?" (BSB). The particle serves to heighten the emotional tone of the message, drawing the reader or listener into the intensity of the speaker's feelings.
