Strong's Lexicon huperperissós: Exceedingly abundant, beyond measure, superabundant Original Word: ὑπερπερισσός Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ὑπέρ (hyper, meaning "beyond" or "above") and περισσός (perissos, meaning "abundant" or "excessive"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperperissós," the concept of abundance is often expressed in the Old Testament with words like רַב (rab, meaning "many" or "great") and שָׁפַע (shaphah, meaning "abundance" or "overflow"). Usage: The term "huperperissós" is used to describe something that is exceedingly abundant or beyond what is necessary. It conveys the idea of an overflow or surplus that surpasses ordinary limits. In the New Testament, it is often used to emphasize the superabundant nature of God's grace, love, or provision. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, abundance was often associated with prosperity and divine favor. The use of "huperperissós" in the New Testament reflects a cultural understanding of abundance as a sign of blessing, but it elevates this concept to a spiritual level, emphasizing the limitless and overflowing nature of God's gifts to humanity.
