Berean Strong's Lexicon hou: where Original Word: ὅπου Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: hou Pronunciation: ho'-poo Phonetic Spelling: (hoo) Definition: where Meaning: where, whither, when, in what place. Word Origin: Derived from the relative pronoun ὅς (hos) meaning "who, which, what" and the enclitic particle που (pou) meaning "somewhere, anywhere." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is אֲשֶׁר (asher), Strong's Hebrew 834, which also functions as a relative pronoun meaning "who, which, where." Usage: The Greek adverb ὅπου (hou) is used to denote a place or location, often translated as "where" in English. It is employed in the New Testament to indicate a specific or general location, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. It can refer to a literal place, such as a city or region, or a figurative place, such as a state of being or condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, the use of ὅπου reflects the importance of place in the ancient world, where geography often had theological significance. Locations mentioned in the Bible were not only physical places but also carried spiritual and symbolic meanings. The use of ὅπου in the New Testament often highlights the presence of God or significant events in the life of Jesus and His followers.
