Strong's Lexicon emeó: To vomit Original Word: ἐμέω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐμέω, the concept of divine rejection or being "spewed out" can be related to passages such as Leviticus 18:28, where the land is said to "vomit out" its inhabitants due to their abominations. Usage: The Greek verb ἐμέω (emeó) means "to vomit" or "to spew out." It is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe a strong rejection or repulsion, particularly in a spiritual or moral context. The term conveys a sense of disgust or intense displeasure, often in response to lukewarmness or hypocrisy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, vomiting was often associated with physical illness or a reaction to something distasteful.
