Strong's Lexicon oiomai and oimai: To suppose, to think, to imagine Original Word: οἴομαι / οἶμαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: oiomai and oimai Pronunciation: oy'-om-ahee / oy'-mai Phonetic Spelling: (oy'-om-ahee) Definition: I think, suppose, expect, imagine. Meaning: To suppose, to think, to imagine, to presume Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for οἴομαι, similar concepts of thinking or supposing can be found in Hebrew verbs such as חָשַׁב (chashab • Strong's 2803), which means to think, plan, or reckon, and דָּמָה (damah • Strong's 1819), which means to imagine or consider. These Hebrew terms reflect similar cognitive processes of forming thoughts or assumptions. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to express a thought or supposition, often reflecting a personal opinion or assumption about a situation or event. Context: The Greek verb οἴομαι (oiomai) or its contracted form οἶμαι (oimai) appears in the New Testament to convey the act of supposing or thinking. It is a term that reflects a subjective judgment or belief, often without definitive proof. This verb is used to describe the mental process of forming an opinion or assumption based on available information or personal reasoning. In the New Testament, οἴομαι is used in contexts where individuals express their thoughts or assumptions about certain events or teachings. For example, in Acts 17:29, Paul uses a form of this verb when addressing the Athenians about their misconceptions regarding the divine nature: "Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not suppose that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man's skill and imagination." The use of οἴομαι highlights the human tendency to form opinions and assumptions, which may or may not align with divine truth. It serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking wisdom and understanding from God rather than relying solely on human reasoning.
