Strong's Lexicon homileó: To converse, to speak, to talk Original Word: ὁμιλέω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὁμιλία (homilia), meaning "conversation" or "association." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὁμιλέω, the concept of speaking or conversing can be related to Hebrew words like דָּבַר (dabar, Strong's H1696), which means "to speak" or "to talk." Usage: The verb ὁμιλέω (homileó) primarily means to engage in conversation or to speak with someone. It implies a form of communication that is more personal and interactive, often involving dialogue or discourse. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of speaking or conversing, often in a teaching or explanatory context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, conversation and dialogue were essential components of education and philosophical discourse. The practice of engaging in dialogue was a key method for teaching and learning, as seen in the works of philosophers like Socrates and Plato. In the Jewish context, rabbinic teaching often involved discussion and debate, reflecting a similar value placed on conversational learning.
