Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "הֵם" (hem) or "הֵנָּה" (henah), which also means "they are" or "are." Usage: The Greek word "εἰσίν" (eisi) is the third person plural present indicative form of the verb "εἰμί" (eimi), which means "to be." It is used to denote existence or presence and is typically translated into English as "are." This form is used when referring to multiple subjects. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, verbs like "εἰσίν" were essential for constructing sentences that describe states of being or existence. The use of "εἰσίν" reflects the Greek emphasis on the present reality and existence of subjects, which was a common linguistic feature in the Hellenistic world. Understanding these verb forms is crucial for interpreting the theological and philosophical nuances of the New Testament texts.
