Strong's Lexicon poios: What, which, of what kind Original Word: ποῖος Word Origin: Derived from the base of ποῦ (pou), meaning "where." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "poios," similar interrogative expressions can be found in Hebrew, such as מָה (mah, Strong's H4100), which also means "what" or "how." Usage: The Greek word "poios" is an interrogative pronoun used to ask questions about the nature, quality, or identity of something or someone. It is often translated as "what" or "which" in English. In the New Testament, "poios" is used to inquire about the characteristics or qualities of a person or thing, often in the context of teaching or dialogue. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, questions about identity and nature were common in philosophical and religious discussions. The use of "poios" reflects a broader cultural interest in understanding the essence and qualities of people and objects. In the context of the New Testament, such questions often lead to deeper theological insights or moral teachings, as Jesus and others use them to provoke thought and reflection among their listeners.
