Doing Your Own Word Studies
You can study the Bible without knowing Greek. That’s how most Christians do it. Even a great Christian scholar like Saint Augustine disliked Greek, and worked in Latin when he was writing theology. But Greek offers advantages. It’s like switching from black and white TV to high definition color screens. You can see what’s happening either way, but it’s more satisfying to watch the upgraded medium.
You can learn to use proven techniques to study Greek words for yourself. Just go to the Ezra Project Web site and take a look at the new Word Study Course that will be available in its completed form by the end of January.
We live in the Big Information Age. A 10-year-old with a smart phone has access to more data than you can find in the Library of Congress. One source estimates that Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft collectively store enough bytes to play 2.2 billion years of music.
We know so much, but I wonder how much we really know.
Social media gives the illusion of intimacy. You can be “friends” with thousands of people, sharing the details of what you ate for breakfast but having no actual contact with them.
We know so many, but I wonder how many people we really know.
Long before the Internet existed, the Bible dealt with a similar predicament: knowing God without really knowing God.
No question is more important, and we can throw light on the answer by considering the Greek words for “knowing.”
The New Testament employs two Greek verbs for “know” most of the time.
Both words are translated as “know,” covering a broad range of possible ideas. With blockbuster words like these, a full investigation would flow into multiple chapters, so we will track one important line of thought.
The two words overlap quite a bit, and they often seem to be used interchangeably. But there are some differences in flavor.
Consider two kinds of knowledge:
You know that 2+2=4. This is a raw fact. It’s easy to learn, and once you master it, you know all there is to know about it.
You know a friend in a different way. You know facts about them, of course, but that’s not all. You know a person because you have spent time talking and doing things together, building a relationship. It is knowledge gained by experience.
This kind of knowledge takes time and it is never complete. Even people celebrating their 50th anniversary can still discover surprises about their spouse!
The Greek word oida can describe either kind of knowledge, but it leans a little toward the knowledge of facts. It is related to the word for “see,” and it often describes the kind of knowledge that results from observation. You have seen the reality and know it to be true. In some cases, you know the truth because God has revealed it.
The word ginōskō, on the other hand, often describes the kind of knowledge involved in building an intimate relationship with a person.
The apostle John loves to use ginōskō to describe this deeper, person-to-person knowledge that characterizes God. Jesus chose ginōskō to describe the intimacy between the Father and the Son, as well as the connection between Himself and His sheep.
I am the good shepherd: and I know My own, and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father (John 10:14-15).
More than mere acquisition of facts, this knowledge leads to love (1 John 4:7-8) and obedience (John 10:27).
Knowledge about God is important. We need to raise the level of biblical literacy in our day. But actually knowing God in a personal relationship is even more vital. How well do you know God?
Study Hint:
When you study the big words of the New Testament, you may be in danger of drowning in information overload. There’s not time to look at several hundred verses, so you’ll trust what you find in reliable sources.
Words like these overlap in meaning, and the distinctions I’ve drawn here are only general tendencies. They don’t apply to every use of the words. However, you can gain useful insights by viewing verses with them in mind. 2 Corinthians 5:21, for instance, says that Jesus “knew no sin” (ginōskō). Clearly, He knew all about sin, but He didn’t have any personal experience with it.

No question is more important, and we can throw light on the answer by considering the Greek words for “knowing.”
The New Testament employs two Greek verbs for “know” most of the time.
- Oida (about 318 times)
- Ginōskō (about 225 times)

The word ginōskō, on the other hand, often describes the kind of knowledge involved in building an intimate relationship with a person.
- In fact, ginōskō is tied so tightly to relationships that it is used to describe the sexual relations between a husband and wife (Matthew 1:25; Luke 1:34).
- At the day of judgment, Jesus declared, many would claim to be His followers, but He would say “I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23). Of course, He knew the facts about them, but He had no personal relationship with them.

- We must be careful with translations which are only translations !
- Especially because of the nature of Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Greek !
- Maybe this will help you !
Remember:
Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.
This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.
Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

- My answer :
The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.
Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.
