Strong's Lexicon enthumésis: Thought, reflection, consideration Original Word: ἐνθύμησις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐνθυμέομαι (enthumeomai), meaning "to think, consider, or ponder." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4284 מַחֲשָׁבָה (machashabah) - Thought, plan, purpose - H3820 לֵב (leb) - Heart, mind, inner man Usage: The term "enthumésis" refers to the process of deep thought or reflection. It implies an internal deliberation or contemplation, often concerning moral or spiritual matters. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the inner thoughts or reasoning of individuals, particularly in the context of their intentions or motives. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of internal reflection was highly valued, especially in philosophical circles. The ability to ponder and reason was seen as a mark of wisdom and maturity. In Jewish thought, the heart was considered the seat of thought and intention, aligning with the biblical emphasis on the importance of one's inner life and motives.
