Berean Strong's Lexicon enupniazomai: To dream Original Word: ἐνυπνιάζομαι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ἐνύπνιον (enupnion), meaning "a dream." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with dreaming is חָלַם (chalom), Strong's Hebrew #2492, which also means "to dream." Usage: The verb ἐνυπνιάζομαι refers to the act of dreaming, particularly in the context of receiving dreams that may have spiritual or prophetic significance. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the experience of receiving divine messages or revelations through dreams. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, dreams were often considered significant and were believed to be a means through which the divine communicated with humans. Both in Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, dreams were interpreted as omens or messages from the gods. In the biblical context, dreams were sometimes used by God to reveal His will or to provide guidance, as seen in the stories of Joseph in the Old Testament and Joseph, the husband of Mary, in the New Testament. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1797 enypniázomai (from 1798 /enýpnion, "dream") – to dream while asleep; (figuratively) a "day-dream" in which the believer contemplates (meditates). See 1798 (enypnion). [Jude 8 uses 1797 (enypniázomai) in connection with the wrong kind of dreaming. This hoping (desiring) opposes God's kingdom – and then expects such personal aspirations to be granted by Him! This shows someone is completely out of touch with the principles of God's kingdom (see also Mt 6:33).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom enupnion Definition to dream NASB Translation dream (1), dreaming (1).
