Berean Strong's Lexicon penimi: Inner, inward, interior Original Word: פְּנִימִי Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּנִים (panim), meaning "face" or "presence," which often implies an inward or internal aspect. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2080 (esō): Meaning "within" or "inside," often used in the New Testament to describe inner spiritual realities. - G2081 (esōteros): Meaning "inner" or "more inward," used to describe the inner parts of a person or a place. Usage: The term "penimi" is used to describe something that is internal or located within. It often refers to the inner parts of a structure, such as the inner sanctuary of the temple, or metaphorically to the inner aspects of a person, such as the heart or spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of the "inner" was significant both in physical and spiritual contexts. The inner sanctuary of the temple, known as the Holy of Holies, was the most sacred space, symbolizing the presence of God. Similarly, the inner life of a person, including thoughts and intentions, was considered crucial in one's relationship with God. The emphasis on the "inner" reflects a broader biblical theme that values internal purity and sincerity over external appearances.
