Strong's Lexicon hopou: where, wherever Original Word: ὅπου Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: hopou Pronunciation: HO-poo Phonetic Spelling: (hop'-oo) Definition: where, wherever Meaning: where, whither, in what place. Word Origin: Derived from the relative pronoun ὅς (hos, "who, which") and the particle που (pou, "where"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is אֲשֶׁר (asher), which also functions as a relative pronoun meaning "where" or "which." Usage: The Greek adverb "hopou" is used to denote a place or situation, often translated as "where" or "wherever" in English. It is employed to indicate a location or condition in a relative sense, often introducing a clause that describes the place or situation in question. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "hopou" is used to convey the idea of a specific or general location, both physical and metaphorical. The term reflects the ancient Greek understanding of space and place, which was often more fluid and relational than modern conceptions. In biblical texts, "hopou" can denote not just physical locations but also spiritual or moral states, reflecting the holistic worldview of the biblical authors.
