Berean Strong's Lexicon gnórizó: To make known, to declare, to reveal, to inform. Original Word: γνωρίζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root "γινώσκω" (ginóskó), meaning "to know." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of making known or revealing is יָדַע (yada, Strong's H3045), which means "to know" or "to make known." Usage: The verb "γνωρίζω" (gnórizó) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of making something known or revealing information. It often implies a communication of knowledge or truth that was previously hidden or unknown. This term is used in contexts where God, individuals, or apostles reveal divine truths, intentions, or personal information to others. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, knowledge and the act of making something known were highly valued, especially in philosophical and religious contexts. The New Testament usage of "γνωρίζω" reflects the importance of revelation in the early Christian community, where the apostles and early Christians were tasked with spreading the Gospel and making known the mysteries of God's kingdom. This aligns with the Jewish tradition of God revealing His will and purposes through prophets and scripture.
