Strong's Lexicon lemo: "to them," "for them," "their" Original Word: לְמוֹ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew preposition לְ (le), meaning "to" or "for," combined with מוֹ (mo), a suffix that can indicate plurality or emphasis. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew preposition lemo, similar concepts of collective possession or direction can be found in Greek prepositions like αὐτοῖς (autois), meaning "to them" or "for them." Usage: The Hebrew preposition לְמוֹ (lemo) is used to indicate possession or direction towards a group, often translated as "to them" or "for them" in English. It is a poetic or archaic form found primarily in poetic or prophetic texts, emphasizing collective ownership or action directed towards a group. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, language was deeply intertwined with community and collective identity. The use of lemo reflects this cultural emphasis on the group rather than the individual. It is often found in contexts where the actions or possessions of a group are being highlighted, such as in communal worship, national identity, or collective responsibility.
