Strong's Lexicon ennomos: Under law, lawful, legal Original Word: ἔννομος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: ennomos Pronunciation: EN-no-mos Phonetic Spelling: (en'-nom-os) Definition: Under law, lawful, legal Meaning: (a) legal, statutory, duly constituted, (b) under the law, obedient to the law. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and "νόμος" (nomos, meaning "law"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ἔννομος," the concept of law is closely related to the Hebrew word "תּוֹרָה" (Torah, Strong's H8451), which refers to the law or instruction given by God to Israel. Usage: The term "ἔννομος" is used to describe something that is in accordance with the law or is lawful. It conveys the idea of being subject to or governed by law. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe a state of being under the jurisdiction or authority of a legal system, particularly the Mosaic Law. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, law was a central aspect of society, governing both public and private life. The Jewish people, in particular, were deeply connected to the Mosaic Law, which was seen as a divine covenant and a guide for righteous living. The concept of being "under the law" was significant in the early Christian context, as it related to the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant in Christ.
