Part of Speech:Noun, Feminine
Transliteration:phóné
Pronunciation:fo-nay'
Phonetic Spelling:(fo-nay')
Definition:Voice, sound, tone
Meaning:a sound, noise, voice, language, dialect. Word Origin:Derived from the Greek verb φημί (phēmi), meaning "to speak" or "to say." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -H6963 - קוֹל (qol): Often translated as "voice" or "sound," used in contexts such as the voice of God (e.g., Genesis 3:8) or the sound of a trumpet (e.g., Exodus 19:16). Usage:The Greek word "phóné" primarily refers to a voice or sound. It can denote the sound produced by a human voice, an animal, or even inanimate objects like musical instruments. In the New Testament, "phóné" is often used to describe the voice of God, the voice of Jesus, or the proclamation of the Gospel. It can also refer to a sound that carries a message or signifies an event, such as the sound of a trumpet or the voice of many waters. Cultural and Historical Background:In the ancient Greek world, the concept of "phóné" was significant in both secular and religious contexts. The voice was seen as a primary means of communication and expression. In the Jewish tradition, the voice of God was a powerful and awe-inspiring phenomenon, often associated with divine revelation and authority. The New Testament continues this tradition, emphasizing the importance of hearing and responding to God's voice.
