Strong's Lexicon dimyon: Likeness, imagination, resemblance Original Word: דִּמְיוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: dimyown Pronunciation: dim-YOHN Phonetic Spelling: (dim-yone') Definition: resemblance Meaning: The term דִּמְיוֹן (dimyon) primarily denotes "resemblance" or "likeness." It conveys the idea of something being similar or comparable to another. Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּמָה (damah), which means "to be like" or "to resemble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for the concept of resemblance or likeness can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as G3667 (ὁμοίωμα, homoiōma), which means "likeness" or "form," and G1504 (εἰκών, eikōn), which means "image" or "representation." These terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of resemblance and representation, particularly in the context of Christ being the image of God and believers being conformed to His likeness. Usage: The word דִּמְיוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a likeness or a comparison, often in the context of visions, dreams, or metaphorical language. It is used to express the concept of one thing being like another, either in appearance, nature, or function. Context: • The term דִּמְיוֹן appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts where a comparison or likeness is being drawn. It is often used in poetic and prophetic literature to convey visions or symbolic representations. For example, in Ezekiel 1:10, the prophet describes the likeness of the faces of the living creatures in his vision, using the term to convey the similarity to human and animal forms. • דִּמְיוֹן is also used in the context of dreams and visions, where it describes the symbolic imagery that conveys deeper spiritual truths or messages. The use of this term underscores the importance of understanding the symbolic nature of such visions, as they are not literal but rather convey a deeper resemblance to spiritual realities. • In a broader theological context, דִּמְיוֹן can be seen as a reflection of the biblical theme of humanity being made in the image and likeness of God, as seen in Genesis 1:26-27. This concept of resemblance highlights the intended reflection of divine attributes in human beings. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from damah Definition likeness NASB Translation like (1).
