It often conveys a sense of revelation or enlightenment, such as opening the eyes, mind, or understanding. This term is used both in a literal sense, such as opening physical eyes, and in a metaphorical sense, such as opening the mind to understand spiritual truths.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "opening" was often associated with gaining insight or understanding. The act of opening was not just physical but also intellectual and spiritual. In Jewish tradition, the opening of the eyes or mind was seen as a divine act, where God grants understanding or revelation to His people. This aligns with the biblical theme of God as the source of wisdom and enlightenment.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1272</b> <i>dianoígō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">1223</a> <i>/diá</i>, "all the way <i>across</i>" and <a href="/greek/455.htm">455</a> <i>/anoígō</i>, "the process to open <i>fully</i>") – properly, open fully by completing the process necessary to do so (not the prefix <a href="/greek/303.htm">303</a> <i>/aná</i> which intensifies the root, <i>oigō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/455.htm">anoigó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to open up completely<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>explaining (2), opened (5), opens (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 1272: διανοίγω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διανοίγω</span></span>; imperfect <span class="greek2">διηνοιγον</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διήνοιξα</span>; passive, 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διηνοιχθην</span>; (2 aorist <span class="greek2">διηνοιγην</span>); perfect participle <span class="greek2">διηνοιγμενος</span> (<a href="/interlinear/acts/7-56.htm">Acts 7:56</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>); (on variations of augment see references under the word <span class="greek2">ἀμπογππ</span>); the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> chiefly for <span class="hebrew">פָּקַח</span> and <span class="hebrew">פָּתַח</span>; occasionally in secular authors from <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Lysias</span>, p. 210 a. down; <span class="accented">to open by dividing or drawing asunder</span> (<span class="greek2">διά</span>), <span class="accented">to open thoroughly</span> (what had been closed); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> properly: <span class="greek2">ἄρσεν</span> <span class="greek2">διανοῖγον</span> <span class="greek2">μήτραν</span>, a male opening the womb (the closed matrix), i. e. the first-born, <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-23.htm">Luke 2:23</a> (<a href="/interlinear/exodus/13-2.htm">Exodus 13:2</a>, etc.); <span class="greek2">οὐρανούς</span>, passive, <a href="/interlinear/acts/7-56.htm">Acts 7:56</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <span class="accented">the ears, the eyes,</span> i. e. to restore or to give hearing, sight: <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-34.htm">Mark 7:34, 35</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-31.htm">Luke 24:31</a> (<a href="/interlinear/genesis/3-5.htm">Genesis 3:5, 7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/35-5.htm">Isaiah 35:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/6-17.htm">2 Kings 6:17</a>, etc.). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> tropically: <span class="greek2">τάς</span> <span class="greek2">γραφάς</span>, to open the sense of the Scriptures, explain them, <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-32.htm">Luke 24:32</a>; <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">νοῦν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, to open the mind of one, i. e. cause him to understand a thing, <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-45.htm">Luke 24:45</a>; <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">καρδίαν</span>, to open one's soul, i. e. to rouse in one the faculty of understanding or the desire of learning, <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-14.htm">Acts 16:14</a> (2 Macc. 1:4; <span class="abbreviation">Themistius</span>, orat. 2 de Constantio imp.
