Strong's Lexicon amphiennumi: To clothe, to dress, to put on Original Word: ἀμφιέννυμι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: amphiennumi Pronunciation: am-fee-EN-noo-mee Phonetic Spelling: (am-fee-en'-noo-mee) Definition: To clothe, to dress, to put on Meaning: I put on, clothe. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀμφί (amphi, meaning "around" or "on both sides") and the verb ἕννυμι (hennumi, meaning "to clothe" or "to put on"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of clothing or being clothed is לָבַשׁ (labash, Strong's Hebrew 3847), which also means to put on garments or to be clothed. Usage: The verb ἀμφιέννυμι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of putting on clothing or being dressed. It conveys the idea of being fully clothed or enveloped in garments. This term emphasizes the completeness and thoroughness of being dressed, often with a sense of preparation or readiness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, clothing was not only a necessity but also a symbol of status, identity, and role. The act of dressing oneself or being dressed by others could signify various social or religious functions. Clothing was often used metaphorically in Scripture to represent spiritual truths, such as righteousness, salvation, or readiness for service.
