It conveys the idea of words flowing from one's mouth, similar to how water flows from a source. This term is often used in contexts where speech is likened to a stream or flow of words.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of flowing was often associated with natural elements like rivers and streams, which were vital for life and agriculture. The metaphorical use of "flow" to describe speech reflects the importance of eloquence and rhetoric in Greek society, where public speaking was a highly valued skill. In the biblical context, the flow of words can also be seen as a divine or prophetic utterance, emphasizing the power and authority of spoken words.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4483: Ρ᾽ΑΩ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle"> Ρ᾽ΑΩ</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">εἶπον</span></span>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>command, make, say, speak of. <p>For certain tenses of which a prolonged form ereo (er-eh'-o) is used; and both as alternate for <a href="/greek/2036.htm">epo</a>; perhaps akin (or identical) with <a href="/greek/4482.htm">rheo</a> (through the idea of pouring forth); to utter, i.e. Speak or say -- command, make, say, speak (of).
