Strong's Lexicon numphios: Bridegroom Original Word: νυμφίος Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: numphios Pronunciation: noom-FEE-os Phonetic Spelling: (noom-fee'-os) Definition: Bridegroom Meaning: a bridegroom. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word νύμφη (numphē), meaning "bride" or "young wife." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a bridegroom is paralleled in the Hebrew Scriptures with the word חָתָן (chathan), Strong's Hebrew #2860, which also means "bridegroom." Usage: In the New Testament, "numphios" is used metaphorically to refer to Jesus Christ as the bridegroom of the Church, His bride. It signifies a close, covenantal relationship characterized by love, commitment, and anticipation of a future union. The term is often used in the context of wedding imagery to illustrate the relationship between Christ and His followers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, the bridegroom held a central role in the wedding ceremony, which was a significant social and religious event. The bridegroom was responsible for preparing a place for his bride and leading the wedding procession. This cultural backdrop enriches the metaphorical use of "numphios" in the New Testament, where Jesus is depicted as the one who prepares a place for His people and will return to bring them into eternal fellowship with Him.
