Strong's Lexicon déloó: To make clear, to show, to declare, to reveal. Original Word: δηλόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: déloó Pronunciation: day-lo'-o Phonetic Spelling: (day-lo'-o) Definition: I show, make clear, reveal. Meaning: To make clear, to show, to declare, to make manifest. Word Origin: From the Greek word δῆλος (dēlos), meaning "clear" or "manifest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for δηλόω, similar concepts of making known or revealing can be found in Hebrew words such as גָּלָה (galah • Strong's Hebrew 1540), meaning "to reveal" or "to uncover," and נָגַד (nagad • Strong's Hebrew 5046), meaning "to declare" or "to make known." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of revelation and declaration found in the Greek δηλόω. Usage: The verb δηλόω is used in the New Testament to convey the act of making something known or clear, often in the context of revealing or declaring information or truth. Context: The Greek verb δηλόω appears in several New Testament passages, where it is used to describe the act of making something known or manifest. This term is often employed in contexts where clarity or revelation is necessary, whether it be through teaching, declaration, or demonstration. In 1 Corinthians 3:13, the apostle Paul uses δηλόω to describe how each person's work will be revealed by fire: "his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man's work." Here, the term underscores the idea of making the true nature of one's work clear and evident. Hebrews 9:8 uses δηλόω in the context of the Holy Spirit revealing the limitations of the old covenant: "By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing." This passage highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in making known the deeper spiritual truths and realities. In 2 Peter 1:14, Peter uses δηλόω to refer to the revelation of his impending death: "since I know that it will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me." This usage emphasizes the personal and prophetic nature of the revelation given to Peter. Overall, δηλόω is a term that conveys the act of making something known, whether it be through divine revelation, personal insight, or the unfolding of events. It is a key term in understanding how truth and knowledge are communicated in the New Testament.
