Strong's Lexicon sémeioó: To mark, to signify, to indicate Original Word: σημαίω Word Origin: From the Greek word σημεῖον (sēmeion), meaning "a sign" or "a mark." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of signs is אוֹת (oth), Strong's Hebrew 226, which also means a sign or a mark. Usage: The verb sémeioó is used in the New Testament to denote the act of marking or indicating something. It often implies the act of making something known or manifest, typically through signs or symbols. In a biblical context, it can refer to the act of God marking or signifying His presence, will, or message through miraculous signs or events. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, signs and symbols were commonly used to convey messages, both in religious and secular contexts. In the Jewish tradition, signs were often associated with divine intervention or communication. The use of signs as a means of divine communication is a recurring theme in the Bible, where God uses signs to confirm His promises, reveal His will, or authenticate His messengers.
