Strong's Lexicon amphiennumi: To clothe, to dress, to put on Original Word: ἀμφιέννυμι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: amphiennumi Pronunciation: am-fee-EN-noo-mee Phonetic Spelling: (am-fee-en'-noo-mee) Definition: I put on, clothe. Meaning: To clothe or dress someone, often implying the act of putting on a garment or covering oneself with clothing. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀμφί (amphi), meaning "around" or "on both sides," and the verb ἕννυμι (hennymi), meaning "to clothe" or "to put on." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of clothing or being clothed is also present in the Hebrew Scriptures, with several Hebrew words conveying similar meanings. Corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries include: • Strong's Hebrew 3847: לָבַשׁ (labash) • to put on, wear, clothe • Strong's Hebrew 3844: לְבוּשׁ (lebush) • garment, clothing • Strong's Hebrew 3848: לָבוּשׁ (labush) • clothed, dressed These Hebrew terms similarly convey the act of dressing or being clothed, often used in both literal and metaphorical contexts throughout the Old Testament. Usage: The verb ἀμφιέννυμι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of clothing or dressing, often in a metaphorical sense to convey spiritual truths or states of being. Context: The Greek verb ἀμφιέννυμι appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the act of clothing or dressing, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. This term is used to describe the physical act of putting on garments, as well as the spiritual act of being clothed with virtues or divine attributes. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is often translated as "clothe" or "dress." For example, in the parable of the wedding banquet, the importance of being properly attired is highlighted, symbolizing the necessity of being spiritually prepared and adorned with righteousness. The act of clothing oneself in the New Testament often carries the connotation of adopting a new identity or state of being, as seen in passages that speak of putting on the "new self" or being clothed with Christ. The metaphorical use of clothing in the New Testament serves to illustrate the transformation that occurs in the believer's life, as they are called to put off the old self and be renewed in the likeness of Christ. This transformation is often depicted as a change in garments, signifying a new status or role within the Kingdom of God.
