Strong's Lexicon ophthalmos: Eye Original Word:ὀφθαλμός
Part of Speech:Noun, Masculine
Transliteration:ophthalmos
Pronunciation:of-thal-MOS
Phonetic Spelling:(of-thal-mos')
Definition:Eye
Meaning:the eye; fig: the mind's eye. Word Origin:Derived from the base of ὀπτάνομαι (optanomai), meaning "to see" or "to appear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5869 עַיִן (ayin) – Often translated as "eye" in the Old Testament, used similarly to denote physical sight and metaphorical insight. Usage:The Greek word "ophthalmos" primarily refers to the physical organ of sight, the eye. In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it describes the human eye, as in Matthew 5:29, "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away." Metaphorically, it can refer to spiritual perception or insight, as in Ephesians 1:18, "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened." Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Greek and Jewish culture, the eye was often seen as a window to the soul and a symbol of perception and understanding. The eye was also associated with moral and spiritual insight. In the Hebrew tradition, the "eye" could represent God's watchfulness and care, as well as human moral and spiritual awareness.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3788: ὀφθαλμόςὀφθαλμός, ὀφθαλμοῦ, ὁ (from the root, ὀπ, to see; allied to ὄψις, ὄψομαι, etc.; Curtius, § 627), the Sept. for עַיִן (from Homer down), the eye: Matthew 5:38; Matthew 6:22; Mark 9:47; Luke 11:34; John 9:6; 1 Corinthians 12:16; Revelation 7:17; Revelation 21:4, and often; ῤιπῇὀφθαλμοῦ, 1 Corinthians 15:52; οἱὀφθαλμοίμουεἶδον (see the remark in γλῶσσα, 1), Luke 2:30; cf. Luke 4:20; Luke 10:23; Matthew 13:16; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 1:7; ( ἀνέβλεψανοἱὀφθαλμοίMatthew 20:34RG); ἰδεῖντοῖςὀφθαλμοῖς, Matthew 13:15; John 12:40; Acts 28:27; ὁρᾶντοῖςὀφθαλμοῖς (see ὁράω, 1), 1 John 1:1; ἡἐπιθυμίατῶνὀφθαλμῶν, desire excited by seeing, 1 John 2:16. Since the eye is the index of the mind, the following phrases have arisen: ὀφθαλμόςσουπονηρόςἐστιν, i. e. thou art envious,Matthew 20:15; ὀφθαλμόςπονηρός, envy, Mark 7:22 ( עַיִןרַע, an envious man, Proverbs 23:6; Proverbs 28:22; cf.

(where Luke 11:34)). κρατεῖντούςὀφθαλμούςτοῦμήκτλ. ( A.

V.received him out of their sight), Acts 1:9. Metaphorically, of the eyes of the mind, the faculty of knowing: ἐκρύβηἀπότῶνὀφθαλμῶνσου, hidden from thine eyes, i. e. concealed from thee (cf. Buttmann, 320 (274)), Luke 19:42; διδόναιτίνιὀφθαλμούςτοῦμήβλέπειν, to crease one to be slow to understand, Romans 11:8 (cf.
