Strong's Lexicon cheiragógeó: To lead by the hand Original Word: χειραγωγέω Word Origin: From the Greek words χείρ (cheir), meaning "hand," and ἄγω (ago), meaning "to lead" or "to bring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "cheiragógeó," the concept of leading or guiding by the hand can be seen in Hebrew words like נָחָה (nachah, Strong's H5148), which means to lead or guide. Usage: The verb "cheiragógeó" means to lead or guide someone by the hand. It is often used in contexts where an individual requires assistance or guidance, such as a blind person being led by someone who can see. This term emphasizes the act of providing direction and support to someone who is unable to navigate on their own. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, leading someone by the hand was a common practice, especially for those who were blind or physically impaired. This act was not only practical but also carried a sense of compassion and care.
