Bible Question (short): Hebrew Greek Scholar question ? |
Question (full): What is your name? My name is Legion. Legion is Greek Strong’s # G3003. We all know what that word means right? If the disciples of Jesus heard the man speak this in Greek, which is likely given the location, would they hear the Greek Word, "legion" as the Hebrew word, "leshon" which means "Slanderer" or "Accuser" (Hebrew Strong’s H3960)? Any Hebrew/Greek scholars out there can help me on the closeness of pronunciation? (We will have to assume for the purpose of the question that the disciples would have known some Hebrew. I am also not making the leap that they did not hear and understand the Greek word. I am only asking if the two words would have similar sounds.) MJH |
