It emphasizes the spoken aspect of communication, highlighting the importance of the message itself.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, "epos" was often associated with epic poetry and storytelling, where the spoken word was a primary means of preserving history, culture, and moral teachings. The Greeks placed high value on rhetoric and the power of speech, which is reflected in the use of "epos" in the New Testament to convey significant teachings and divine messages.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>akin to <a href="/greek/1513.htm">eipon</a>, see also <a href="/greek/3004.htm">legó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a word<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>so* (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2031: ἔπος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἔπος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐπεος</span> (<span class="greek2">ἐπους</span>), <span class="greek2">τό</span>, <span class="accented">a word</span>: <span class="greek2">ὡς</span> <span class="greek2">ἔπος</span> <span class="greek2">εἰπεῖν</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">εἶπον</span></span>, 1 a., p. 181a), <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/7-9.htm">Hebrews 7:9</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> [<span class="arttitle">SYNONYMS:</span> <span class="greek2">ἔπος</span> seems primarily to designate a word as an articulate manifestation of a mental state, and so to differ from <span class="greek2">ῤῆμα</span> (which see), the mere vocable;
