Strong's Lexicon aineó: To praise, to extol, to commend Original Word: αἰνέω Word Origin: Derived from the root word αἶνος (ainos), meaning "praise" or "a story." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1984 (הלל, halal): To praise, to boast, to shine. - H8416 (תְּהִלָּה, tehillah): Praise, song of praise. Usage: The Greek verb "aineó" primarily means to praise or extol, often in the context of giving glory to God. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of expressing admiration or approval, particularly in a religious or worshipful setting. This term emphasizes the vocal and public declaration of God's attributes, works, and character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, praise was a common practice in both religious and secular contexts. Public praise was often directed towards deities, rulers, and heroes. In Jewish tradition, praising God was an integral part of worship, deeply rooted in the Psalms and other Old Testament scriptures. The early Christian community continued this tradition, using praise as a means to express their faith and devotion to God.
