Strong's Lexicon kathoti: as, because, inasmuch as Original Word: καθότι Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: kathoti Pronunciation: kä-tho'-tē Phonetic Spelling: (kath-ot'-ee) Definition: as, because, inasmuch as Meaning: (a) in proportion as, according as, (b) because. Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "according to") and ὅτι (hoti, meaning "that" or "because") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "καθότι," similar causal conjunctions in Hebrew include "כִּי" (ki, meaning "because" or "for") and "אֲשֶׁר" (asher, meaning "that" or "which"). Usage: The Greek conjunction "καθότι" (kathoti) is used to express a reason or explanation, often translated as "as," "because," or "inasmuch as." It serves to connect clauses by indicating the cause or reason for an action or statement. In the New Testament, it is used to provide explanations or justifications for preceding statements. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, conjunctions like "καθότι" were essential for constructing complex sentences and conveying nuanced meanings. The use of "καθότι" reflects the logical and rhetorical style of writing prevalent in the Hellenistic period, where authors aimed to clearly articulate reasons and causes within their narratives and teachings.
