((Aristotle, rhet. Alex. 23, p. 1434{b}, 4); Josephus, (Philo), Galen (others); the Sept..) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb διηγέομαι (diegeomai, meaning "to narrate" or "to describe"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκδιηγέομαι, the concept of recounting or narrating in detail can be related to Hebrew verbs such as סָפַר (saphar, Strong's Hebrew 5608), which means "to count, recount, or declare," and נָגַד (nagad, Strong's Hebrew 5046), meaning "to tell, declare, or make known." These Hebrew terms similarly convey the act of detailed narration or declaration. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to indicate the act of narrating or recounting a story or event in a detailed manner. It emphasizes a thorough and complete description. Context: The Greek verb ἐκδιηγέομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts where a detailed and comprehensive account is given. It is used to convey the idea of narrating or describing events with precision and completeness. This term underscores the importance of providing a full and accurate account, often in the context of sharing significant events or testimonies. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐκδιηγέομαι is found in the following passage: • Acts 9:27: "But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He described to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road to Damascus and how the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus." In this passage, Barnabas uses ἐκδιηγέομαι to recount Saul's (Paul's) transformative encounter with the Lord. The use of this verb highlights Barnabas's role in providing a detailed and convincing account of Saul's experience, which was crucial for gaining the apostles' acceptance of Saul. The verb is significant in the context of early Christian testimony, where accurate and thorough recounting of events was essential for the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of trust within the early Christian community.
