Strong's Lexicon odous: Tooth Original Word: ὀδούς Word Origin: Derived from the base of the Greek word ὀδύνω (odynō), meaning "to cause pain" or "to grieve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8127 שֵׁן (shen) - tooth - H2782 חָרַק (charak) - to gnash, grind Usage: The Greek word "ὀδούς" (odous) primarily refers to a tooth or teeth. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe intense anguish or suffering, as seen in the phrase "weeping and gnashing of teeth," which signifies extreme remorse or despair. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, teeth were often associated with strength and vitality. The loss of teeth could symbolize weakness or defeat. The metaphorical use of "gnashing of teeth" in the New Testament reflects a common expression of anger or frustration in the ancient world. This imagery is used to convey the severity of judgment and the profound regret of those who are separated from God's presence.
