Strong's Lexicon emphutos: Implanted, engrafted Original Word: ἐμφυτός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐμφύω (emphyō), meaning "to implant" or "to engraft." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "emphutos," the concept of God's word being internalized can be related to passages such as Psalm 119:11, "I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You" (BSB), where the idea of internalizing God's word is evident. Usage: The term "emphutos" is used to describe something that is implanted or engrafted, suggesting a deep, intrinsic connection or integration. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the Word of God being implanted in the hearts of believers, signifying a transformative and life-giving presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of something being "implanted" or "engrafted" was often used in agricultural contexts, such as grafting branches onto a tree. This imagery would have been familiar to the original audience, who lived in an agrarian society. The metaphor of grafting was also used in philosophical and rhetorical contexts to describe the integration of ideas or virtues into one's life.
