◄ 398. anaphainó ►
Strong's Lexicon anaphainó: To appear, to make manifest, to show forth Original Word: ἀναφαίνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anaphainó Pronunciation: an-af-ah'-ee-no Phonetic Spelling: (an-af-ah'-ee-no) Definition: To appear, to make manifest, to show forth Meaning: (a) a nautical term: I sight (a place), (b) mid: I appear (as it were, out of the unseen), (c) I bring to light, make to appear. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and φαίνω (phaino, meaning "to appear" or "to shine"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anaphainó," the concept of revealing or making manifest can be related to Hebrew words like גָּלָה (galah, Strong's H1540), which means "to reveal" or "to uncover." Usage: The verb "anaphainó" is used to describe the act of making something visible or manifest. It implies a revelation or an unveiling, often in a way that brings clarity or understanding. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the appearance or manifestation of something that was previously hidden or not fully understood. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of revelation and manifestation was significant, especially in religious and philosophical contexts. The idea of something being made manifest was often associated with divine revelation or the unveiling of truth. In the context of the New Testament, this aligns with the Jewish understanding of God revealing Himself and His purposes to His people.
