Strong's Lexicon amar: To say, speak, utter Original Word: אֲמַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3004 (λέγω, lego): To say, speak - G2036 (εἶπον, eipon): To say, speak, tell Usage: The Hebrew verb "amar" is one of the most frequently used words in the Old Testament, appearing over 5,000 times. It primarily means "to say" or "to speak," and is used to convey direct speech, commands, promises, and declarations. It is often used in narrative contexts to introduce dialogue or divine speech, highlighting its importance in communication and revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spoken words held significant power and authority. The act of speaking was not merely a means of communication but was often seen as an expression of one's will and intent. This is especially true in the context of divine speech, where God's words are seen as creative and authoritative, as exemplified in the creation narrative of Genesis. The oral tradition was central to the transmission of stories, laws, and teachings, making the act of speaking a vital component of cultural and religious life.
