Berean Strong's Lexicon éli: Eli Original Word: Ἠλί Part of Speech: Hebrew Form (Indeclinable) Transliteration: éli Pronunciation: ay-LEE Phonetic Spelling: (ay-lee') Definition: Eli Meaning: Eli, my God (Hebrew). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 410: אֵל (El) – God, mighty one - Strong's Hebrew 452: אֵלִי (Eli) – My God Usage: In the New Testament, "Ἠλί" (éli) is used in the context of Jesus' cry from the cross, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which translates to "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" This expression is a direct quotation from Psalm 22:1, highlighting Jesus' fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and His deep sense of abandonment as He bore the sins of the world. Cultural and Historical Background: The phrase "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" is Aramaic, reflecting the common language spoken by Jews in Palestine during the time of Jesus. This cry is significant in the Passion narrative, illustrating the depth of Jesus' suffering and His identification with human anguish. It also underscores the Messianic fulfillment of Psalm 22, a psalm of David that prophetically describes the suffering of the Messiah.
