Strong's Lexicon hinati: Why? For what reason? Original Word: ἱνατί Word Origin: Derived from the combination of the Greek words "ἵνα" (hina, meaning "in order that" or "so that") and "τί" (ti, meaning "what" or "why"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "לָמָה" (lamah), which also means "why" or "for what reason." Usage: The Greek word "ἱνατί" is used as an interrogative adverb to ask questions about purpose or reason. It is often translated as "why" or "for what reason" in English. This word is typically used in contexts where a speaker is seeking to understand the rationale or cause behind an action or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "ἱνατί" is used in dialogues and discourses to express inquiry or to challenge the reasoning behind certain actions or beliefs. The use of questions to provoke thought or to challenge assumptions was a common rhetorical device in ancient Greek and Jewish cultures. This word reflects the inquisitive nature of human beings seeking understanding and meaning, a theme prevalent in both Greek philosophy and Jewish wisdom literature.
