◄ 267. amarturos ►
Strong's Lexicon amarturos: Without witness, untestified Original Word: ἀμάρτυρος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: amarturos Pronunciation: ah-MAR-too-ros Phonetic Spelling: (am-ar'-too-ros) Definition: Without witness, untestified Meaning: without witness, untestified to. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and μάρτυς (martys, "witness") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent conceptually would be words related to testimony or witness, such as עֵד (ed, "witness") or עֵדוּת (edut, "testimony"). However, a direct Hebrew equivalent for "amarturos" as "without witness" is not explicitly listed in Strong's Concordance. Usage: The term "amarturos" is used to describe something that lacks testimony or evidence. In a biblical context, it refers to situations or claims that are not supported by witnesses or proof. This word emphasizes the importance of credible testimony in establishing truth, a principle deeply rooted in both Jewish and early Christian traditions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, the testimony of witnesses was crucial for establishing facts, especially in legal and religious matters. The concept of having multiple witnesses is a recurring theme in the Bible, underscoring the need for reliable evidence to confirm truth. The absence of witnesses, as indicated by "amarturos," would render a claim or event unverified and, therefore, less credible.
