Strong's Lexicon eklaleó: To speak out, to declare, to divulge Original Word: ἐκλαλέω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ek" (ἐκ), meaning "out of" or "from," and "laleó" (λαλέω), meaning "to speak" or "to talk." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "eklaleó," the concept of speaking out or declaring is found in several Hebrew words, such as "נָגַד" (nagad, Strong's H5046), meaning "to declare" or "to make known." Usage: The verb "eklaleó" is used to describe the act of speaking out or divulging information. It implies a sense of making something known that was previously hidden or not widely known. In the context of the New Testament, it often carries the connotation of proclaiming or declaring truths, particularly those related to the Gospel or divine revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public speaking and the dissemination of information were crucial for the spread of ideas and beliefs. The early Christian community placed a strong emphasis on the proclamation of the Gospel, often in the face of opposition. The act of "speaking out" was not only a means of communication but also a bold declaration of faith and truth in a society that was often hostile to the Christian message.
