Strong's Lexicon nomikos: Lawyer, expert in the law Original Word: νομικός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word νόμος (nomos), meaning "law." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "nomikos," the role is similar to that of a "scribe" (סוֹפֵר, sopher) or "teacher of the law" (מוֹרֶה, moreh) in the Hebrew context. Usage: The term "nomikos" refers to someone who is learned in the Mosaic Law, often translated as "lawyer" or "expert in the law" in English. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who were knowledgeable about Jewish law and often involved in teaching or interpreting it. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of first-century Judaism, a "nomikos" was a scholar or teacher of the Jewish law. These individuals were highly respected in Jewish society for their knowledge and interpretation of the Torah. They played a crucial role in religious and legal matters, often serving as advisors or judges in legal disputes. Their expertise was not only in the written law but also in the oral traditions that accompanied it. HELPS Word-studies 3544 nomikós (from 3551 /nómos, "law") – properly, an expert in Jewish law (theology); an ancient Jewish-attorney ("Scripture-lawyer"), specializing in interpreting the OT and applying the teachings of established rabbis. 3544 /nomikós ("lawyer") implies someone even more learned in the Law than a typical scribe. (Ezra would have been considered a 3544 /nomikós.) [3544 (nomikós) is also a regular term for attorney in antiquity, i.e. an expert jurist in secular law.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom nomos Definition relating to law, learned in the law NASB Translation Law (1), lawyer (3), lawyers (5).
