Strong's Lexicon ea: himself, herself, itself, themselves Original Word: ἑαυτοῦ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word αὐτός (autos), meaning "self" or "same." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek reflexive pronoun ἑαυτοῦ, similar concepts of self-reference and personal responsibility can be found in Hebrew through the use of context and verb forms. For example, the Hebrew word נֶפֶשׁ (nephesh, Strong's H5315) often conveys the idea of the self or soul. Usage: The Greek reflexive pronoun ἑαυτοῦ is used to indicate that the subject of the verb is also the object, emphasizing the action being directed back upon the subject. It is often translated as "himself," "herself," "itself," or "themselves" in English. This pronoun is used to express self-reference and is essential in conveying the idea of self-action or self-involvement in the New Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, the use of reflexive pronouns like ἑαυτοῦ reflects the Greek language's ability to express nuanced relationships between subjects and actions. This linguistic feature was crucial in a culture that valued personal responsibility and self-awareness. The reflexive pronoun often appears in teachings about self-examination, humility, and personal responsibility, which were significant themes in early Christian communities.
