Strong's Lexicon amon: Craftsman, Master Workman Original Word: אָמוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: amown Pronunciation: ah-MONE Phonetic Spelling: (aw-mone') Definition: Craftsman, Master Workman Meaning: skilled, an architect Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַן (aman), which means to support, confirm, or be faithful. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a craftsman or skilled worker can be related to Greek terms such as τέκτων (tekton, Strong's G5045), which means craftsman or builder, and σοφία (sophia, Strong's G4678), which means wisdom. Usage: The Hebrew word "amon" is used to describe a skilled craftsman or master workman. It conveys the idea of someone who is not only skilled in their craft but also faithful and reliable in their work. This term is often associated with wisdom and the act of creation, highlighting the intricate and thoughtful nature of craftsmanship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, craftsmanship was highly valued, and skilled artisans were respected for their ability to create and build. The concept of a "master workman" would have been understood as someone who not only possessed technical skill but also wisdom and insight. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God as the ultimate Creator, who designs and sustains the universe with wisdom and precision.
