Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8416 תְּהִלָּה (tehillah) – praise, song of praise - H1984 הָלַל (halal) – to praise, to boast Usage: The term "ainesis" refers to the act of praising or giving commendation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the expression of approval or admiration, particularly in the context of worship and thanksgiving to God. It emphasizes the verbal acknowledgment of God's attributes, deeds, and character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, praise was a common practice in both religious and secular contexts. Public commendation was often given to deities, rulers, and individuals for their achievements or virtues. In Jewish tradition, praise was an integral part of worship, deeply rooted in the Psalms and other Old Testament writings. The early Christian community continued this tradition, focusing their praise on God and Jesus Christ as an expression of faith and gratitude.
