It is often translated as "of me" or "my" in English. This form is used to express ownership, relationship, or origin, emphasizing the speaker's personal connection to the noun it modifies.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament, pronouns like ἐμοῦ were essential for indicating possession and personal relationships. The use of the genitive case in Greek often conveys a deeper sense of belonging or association than in English. Understanding these nuances helps in grasping the relational dynamics present in the New Testament texts, where personal pronouns often highlight the intimate relationship between God and believers, as well as among the early Christian community.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1700</b> <i>emoú</i> – <i>of me</i> (i.e. "mine, my"); "the <i>emphatic</i> form of <a href="/greek/3450.htm">3450</a> <i>/moú</i> (S.
