What Original Readers Understood
ExploredBased on the provided Greek lexicon data, the word ὀπή (opē) is a noun with a short definition of "hole." It is mentioned twice in the Bible. In its limited occurrence, ὀπή likely refers to an opening or opening in the ground, similar to a well or a shaft, as "hole" is a direct translation of this concept. Its specific usage may not be fully understood without further context, but in essence, it denotes a vertical or narrow opening. The relatively rare appearance of ὀπή in the Bible hints at its limited significance in the broader context of New Testament Greek.
