In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically. Literally, it describes the physical finger, while metaphorically, it can represent the power or action of God, as seen in the phrase "the finger of God."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, the finger was often associated with actions of authority and power. For instance, the act of writing with a finger, as in the case of Jesus writing on the ground (John 8:6), was a gesture of judgment or teaching. The "finger of God" is a phrase that appears in both Jewish and Christian texts, symbolizing divine intervention or power.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a finger<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>finger (6), fingers (2).<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 1147: δάκτυλος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δάκτυλος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δακτύλου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from Batrach. 45 and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down), <span class="accented">a finger</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-4.htm">Matthew 23:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-46.htm">Luke 11:46</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/16-24.htm">Luke 16:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-33.htm">Mark 7:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/8-6.htm">John 8:6</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:John 20:25,27>; <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">δακτύλῳ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span>, by the power of God, divine efficiency by which something is made visible to men, <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-20.htm">Luke 11:20</a> (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-28.htm">Matthew 12:28</a> <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">πνεύματι</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span>); <a href="/interlinear/exodus/8-19.htm">Exodus 8:19</a> (cf. <a href="/interlinear/exodus/31-18.htm">Exodus 31:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/8-4.htm">Psalm 8:4</a>).<FOOTNOTE:1> <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>finger. <p>Probably from <a href="/greek/1176.htm">deka</a>; a finger -- finger. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1176.htm">deka</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>δάκτυλοι δάκτυλοί δακτύλοις δακτυλον δάκτυλον δάκτυλόν δάκτυλος δάκτυλός δακτυλου δακτύλου δακτυλους δακτύλους δακτυλω δακτύλω δακτύλῳ δακτυλων δακτύλων daktulo daktulō daktulon daktulōn daktulou daktulous daktylo daktylō daktýloi daktýlōi daktylon daktylōn daktýlon daktýlōn dáktylón daktylou daktýlou daktylous daktýlous<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/23-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 23:4</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
