Berean Strong's Lexicon eggraphó: To inscribe, to write in, to record Original Word: ἐγγράφω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "γράφω" (graphó, meaning "to write"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of writing or inscribing is כָּתַב (kathab, Strong's H3789), which means "to write" or "to inscribe." Usage: The verb "eggraphó" is used to denote the act of writing or inscribing something into a document or record. It implies a formal or official recording, often with the connotation of permanence or authority. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the recording of names or events in a book or register. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, writing was a crucial part of administration and governance. Official documents, legal contracts, and public records were inscribed on various materials such as papyrus, parchment, or stone. The act of inscribing was often associated with authority and authenticity, as written records were used to validate transactions, agreements, and historical events. In Jewish culture, the concept of being written in a book, such as the Book of Life, held significant spiritual meaning, symbolizing one's standing before God.
