Strong's Lexicon oiomai and oimai: To suppose, to think, to imagine Original Word: οἴομαι / οἶμαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: oiomai and oimai Pronunciation: oy'-om-ahee / oy'-mai Phonetic Spelling: (oy'-om-ahee) Definition: To suppose, to think, to imagine Meaning: I think, suppose, expect, imagine. Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew Bible contains similar concepts of supposing or thinking, often expressed through verbs like חָשַׁב (chashav - Strong's H2803), meaning to think, plan, or reckon. Usage: The Greek verbs οἴομαι and οἶμαι are used to express a subjective belief or supposition. They convey the idea of forming an opinion or assumption based on one's own reasoning or perception. In the New Testament, these verbs often reflect a personal judgment or expectation that may or may not align with reality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of supposing or imagining was a common cognitive process, much like today. The use of οἴομαι and οἶμαι in ancient texts often reflects the human tendency to form opinions based on limited information. In the context of the New Testament, these verbs can highlight the contrast between human assumptions and divine truth, emphasizing the need for reliance on God's revelation rather than mere human reasoning.
