Strong's Lexicon exécheó: To sound forth, to echo, to resound Original Word: ἐξήχεο Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐξ (ex, meaning "out of") and ἠχέω (écheó, meaning "to sound" or "to ring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "exécheó," the concept of proclaiming or spreading a message can be related to Hebrew words like שָׁמַע (shama, Strong's H8085), meaning "to hear" or "to proclaim." Usage: The verb "exécheó" is used to describe the action of a sound being emitted or projected outward, often with the connotation of being heard clearly and distinctly. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the spreading of a message or report, particularly the proclamation of the Gospel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, sound played a significant role in communication, especially in public speaking and the oral transmission of information. The concept of sound "echoing" or "resounding" would have been familiar to audiences accustomed to hearing news and proclamations in public forums or marketplaces. The metaphor of sound spreading outward effectively conveys the idea of the Gospel message reaching far and wide.
