It is famously used in the New Testament during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, expressing a deep sense of personal relationship and appeal to God. This expression is a poignant cry of distress and abandonment, reflecting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and the depth of Jesus' suffering on the cross.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of first-century Judea, Aramaic was a common language spoken by the Jewish people, alongside Hebrew and Greek. The use of Aramaic in the New Testament, particularly in the words of Jesus, highlights the cultural and linguistic milieu of the time. The phrase "elói" is part of a larger quotation from Psalm 22, a messianic psalm that prophetically describes the suffering of the Messiah. This connection underscores the continuity between the Old and New Testaments and the fulfillment of prophecy in the person of Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Aramaic origin <a href="/hebrew/426.htm">elah</a> with pronoun suff.<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>my God<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Eloi (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 1682: ελωι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ελωι</span></span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="greek2">ελωι</span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ελωι</span>; see Iota)), <span class="accented">Eloi,</span> Syriac form (<BITMAP:Syriac3> <span class="hebrew">אֶלֹהִי</span>) for Hebrew <span class="hebrew">אֵלִי</span> (<a href="/interlinear/psalms/21-2.htm">Psalm 21:2</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 22:2>); <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-34.htm">Mark 15:34</a>.
