Strong's Lexicon eisi: are Original Word: εἰσίν Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: eisi Pronunciation: ay-see Phonetic Spelling: (i-see') Definition: agree, are, be, were Meaning: The term εἰσίν translates to "they are" or "there are," indicating existence or presence in the third person plural form. Word Origin: The word εἰσίν is the third person plural present indicative form of the verb εἰμί (eimi), which means "to be." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek verb εἰσίν does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, as Hebrew verbs are structured differently. However, the concept of existence or being is often conveyed in Hebrew by the verb הָיָה (hayah, Strong's Hebrew 1961), which means "to be" or "to exist." This Hebrew verb is used in similar contexts to express the state of being or existence, paralleling the function of εἰσίν in Greek. Usage: This Greek verb is used extensively in the New Testament to denote the state of being or existence of multiple subjects. It is a fundamental verb that appears in various contexts, often to describe the nature, condition, or presence of people, objects, or concepts. Context: The verb εἰσίν is a critical component of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament. As the third person plural form of εἰμί, it is used to express the existence or presence of multiple entities. This form is found in numerous passages, providing essential information about the subjects being discussed. For example, in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world," the Greek text uses εἰσίν to affirm the identity and role of the disciples as a collective group. Similarly, in Romans 8:14, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God," εἰσίν is used to describe the collective identity of believers. The verb is integral to conveying theological truths about the nature of God, humanity, and the relationship between them. Its usage underscores the communal aspects of faith and the shared identity of believers in Christ. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin third pers. pl. pres. ind. of eimi, q.v.
