Strong's Lexicon Nineuités: Ninevite Original Word: Νινευίτης Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: Nineuités Pronunciation: nee-nev-ee'-tace Phonetic Spelling: (nin-yoo-ee'-tace) Definition: a Ninevite, an inhabitant of Nineveh, a city on the Tigris in Assyria. Meaning: A Ninevite; an inhabitant or native of Nineveh. Word Origin: Derived from Νινευή (Nineveh), the ancient capital of Assyria. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5210 נִינְוֵה (Nineveh): The Hebrew term for Nineveh, the capital city of Assyria, which plays a central role in the narrative of Jonah and the repentance of its inhabitants. Usage: The term is used in the New Testament to refer to the people of Nineveh, particularly in the context of their repentance at the preaching of Jonah. Context: The term Νινευίτης (Nineuitēs) appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' teachings. In the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, Jesus refers to the Ninevites as an example of repentance and responsiveness to God's message. Specifically, in Matthew 12:41 and Luke 11:32, Jesus states, "The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here" (BSB). This reference highlights the Ninevites' willingness to heed Jonah's warning and turn from their wicked ways, contrasting with the contemporary generation's reluctance to accept Jesus' message. Nineveh, the city associated with the Ninevites, was a significant and influential city in ancient Assyria, known for its size and power. The story of Jonah and the Ninevites is a testament to God's mercy and willingness to forgive those who repent, regardless of their past transgressions. The Ninevites' repentance is a powerful example of the transformative power of genuine contrition and the universal scope of God's grace.
