Definition:To rejoice, to be glad, to make merry
Meaning:I cheer, make glad; generally mid. or pass: I am glad, make merry, revel, feast. Word Origin:From the Greek prefix εὖ (eu, meaning "well" or "good") and φρήν (phrēn, meaning "mind" or "understanding"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar expressions of joy includes שָׂמַח (samach, Strong's H8055), which means to rejoice or be glad. Usage:The verb "euphrainó" primarily conveys a sense of joy, gladness, or merriment. It is used in the New Testament to describe both personal and communal expressions of joy. This joy can be a result of spiritual blessings, festive occasions, or divine intervention. The term often implies a deep, heartfelt rejoicing that transcends mere happiness, reflecting a state of inner contentment and celebration. Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of joy and celebration were common in both religious and secular contexts. Feasts, weddings, and religious festivals were occasions for communal rejoicing. In Jewish culture, joy was often associated with God's deliverance and blessings, as seen in the celebrations of Passover and other feasts. The New Testament usage of "euphrainó" reflects this cultural backdrop, emphasizing joy as a response to God's work and presence.
