Strong's Lexicon eperótaó: To ask, inquire, question Original Word: ἐπερωτάω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ἐρωτάω (erótaó, meaning "to ask" or "to inquire"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves verbs like שָׁאַל (sha'al, Strong's H7592), which means "to ask" or "to inquire." Usage: The verb ἐπερωτάω is used in the New Testament to denote the act of asking or inquiring, often with a sense of seeking information or clarification. It can imply a formal or earnest questioning, sometimes with an expectation of a response or action. This term is used in contexts where individuals seek understanding, clarification, or confirmation, often in a relational or authoritative context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, questioning was a common method of teaching and learning, especially in philosophical and religious contexts. Teachers and rabbis would often use questions to provoke thought and discussion among their students. In the Jewish tradition, asking questions was a key part of religious education and debate, reflecting a deep engagement with the Scriptures and theological concepts.
