Berean Strong's Lexicon hémeis: we, us Original Word: ἡμεῖς Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ἐγώ" (egó), meaning "I." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent for the first person plural pronoun is "אֲנַחְנוּ" (anakhnu), Strong's Hebrew #587. Usage: The Greek pronoun "ἡμεῖς" (hémeis) is used to denote the first person plural, translating to "we" or "us" in English. It is employed in the New Testament to refer to a group that includes the speaker, often used by the apostles and early Christians to express collective identity, shared experiences, or communal actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "ἡμεῖς" reflects the communal nature of early Christian communities. The use of the first person plural pronoun underscores the unity and shared mission among believers. This collective identity was crucial in a time when Christians were often marginalized and faced persecution. The pronoun also highlights the apostolic authority and the shared witness of the apostles as they spread the Gospel. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originnom. pl. of egó, q.v.
