Not like Greek word studies [∞]
Discussion
| The importance of words [∞]
The Greek [1] places only minor importance on the meaning of words [2]
- In traditional study, the individual is not encouraged to understand the origins of meaning; this is left to the 'priesthood' or professional clergy, but to check whatever meaning they derive against the tradition of the church. It might be suggested that those who have only read the OT Greek translations [3] have missed the prophetic riddle of scripture and were not qualified to set doctrinal standards.
Early childhood education experts say that one does not understand a language without understanding childish puns and riddles. To properly understand the meaning of Hebrew words, the formation of letters[4] and formation of words[5] must be understood; not merely a lexical [6] meaning.

| Choosing a word [∞]
The Greek invents a curiosity: "As you’re reading through this verse, you wonder “Is there any significance to the use of the phrase ‘every word‘?” This is an example of the kind of question that may lead to a profitable word study." [1]
- God did not go to all the effort of constructing the mystery to placate your curiosity. [2] Until one learns to discern the voice of God from your own thoughts, mere curiosity can lead astray. [3]
God uses recapitulation to get attention. If a book fell off the shelf once, you think it a curiosity. If a series of books fall of the shelf in order, it is interpreted as design; there is intelligence behind the experience. When the Spirit has correlated a word for you in multiple pericopes, you know he is trying to get your attention.[4]
