Strong's Lexicon ellogeó: To charge to one's account, to impute Original Word: ἐλλογέω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "en" (in) and "logos" (account, word, reason). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of imputation in the Old Testament is often related to the Hebrew word חָשַׁב (chashab), which means to think, account, or reckon. This is seen in passages like Genesis 15:6, where Abraham's faith is "credited" to him as righteousness. Usage: The verb "ellogeó" is used in the context of accounting or reckoning, where something is credited or imputed to someone's account. In the New Testament, it often refers to the imputation of sin or righteousness, highlighting the theological concept of how God accounts righteousness or sin to individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, accounting and record-keeping were essential for trade and legal matters. The concept of imputation was well understood in terms of financial transactions, where debts or credits were recorded against an individual's account. This cultural understanding provides a backdrop for the theological use of "ellogeó" in the New Testament, where spiritual truths are communicated through the metaphor of accounting.
