Meaning:I write; pass: it is written, it stands written (in the scriptures). Word Origin:A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -H3789 (כָּתַב, kathab): To write, inscribe -H5608 (סָפַר, saphar): To count, recount, relate, scribe Usage:The Greek verb "graphó" primarily means "to write." It is used in the New Testament to denote the act of writing, whether it be the physical act of inscribing characters on a surface or the broader concept of composing written works. This term is often used in the context of the Scriptures, referring to the written Word of God, as well as letters and other forms of communication. Cultural and Historical Background:In the ancient world, writing was a significant means of communication and record-keeping. The ability to write was a valued skill, often associated with scribes and scholars. In the context of the Bible, writing was crucial for the transmission of God's laws, prophecies, and teachings. The Jewish tradition placed a high value on the written Torah, and the early Christian community continued this emphasis by preserving the teachings of Jesus and the apostles in written form.
