Strong's Lexicon epiphóneó: To call out, to cry out, to shout Original Word: ἐπιφωνέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and φωνέω (phóneó, meaning "to sound" or "to call"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπιφωνέω, similar concepts of calling out or crying aloud can be found in Hebrew words such as קָרָא (qara, Strong's H7121) and זָעַק (za'aq, Strong's H2199). Usage: The verb ἐπιφωνέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of calling out or shouting, often in a public or communal setting. It conveys a sense of urgency or emphasis, typically used when addressing a crowd or making a proclamation. The term can imply both a literal vocalization and a figurative call to attention. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public speaking and proclamations were common in marketplaces, synagogues, and other communal gatherings. The act of calling out was a way to capture attention and convey important messages. This cultural context highlights the significance of vocal proclamation in ancient societies, where oral communication was a primary means of information dissemination.
