Strong's Lexicon kuroó: To confirm, ratify, make valid Original Word: κυρόω Word Origin: From the Greek word κύριος (kyrios), meaning "lord" or "master." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of confirmation or establishment is אָמַן (aman), Strong's Hebrew #539, which means to confirm, support, or be faithful. Usage: The verb "kuroó" is used to convey the act of confirming or establishing something as valid or binding. It implies a formal or authoritative endorsement, often in the context of agreements, covenants, or promises. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the confirmation of God's promises or the ratification of covenants. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of confirmation or ratification was significant in legal and social contexts. Contracts, treaties, and covenants required formal validation to be considered binding. This cultural understanding is reflected in the biblical usage of "kuroó," where divine promises and covenants are confirmed by God's authority, underscoring their reliability and unchangeable nature.
