Strong's Lexicon déloó: To make clear, to show, to declare, to reveal. Original Word: δηλόω Word Origin: From the Greek word δῆλος (dēlos), meaning "clear" or "manifest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δηλόω, the concept of revealing or making known is present in Hebrew words such as גָּלָה (galah - Strong's H1540), which means "to reveal" or "to uncover." Usage: The verb δηλόω (déloó) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of making something clear or manifest. It involves revealing or declaring information that was previously hidden or not fully understood. This term is often used in contexts where understanding or revelation is brought to light, whether through teaching, prophecy, or divine revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, clarity and revelation were highly valued, especially in philosophical and religious contexts. The act of making something clear was associated with enlightenment and understanding. In the New Testament, this concept is often linked to the revelation of divine truths and the teachings of Jesus Christ, which were intended to illuminate the hearts and minds of believers.
