Name of God’s Son

ἘΣΜΕΝΟΙ, ἐσμενοι

ESMENOI, esmenoi

Sounds Like: es-MEH-noy

Translations: we are, we exist, we have been

From the root: ΕἸΜΙ

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: The word 'ἘΣΜΕΝΟΙ' appears to be a misspelling or a highly unusual form of the verb 'εἰμί' (to be). The standard first-person plural present indicative form is 'ἐσμέν' (esmen), meaning 'we are'. The ending '-οι' is typically associated with masculine plural nominative participles or adjectives. However, the verb 'εἰμί' does not form a perfect passive participle in this manner. It is most likely a scribal error for 'ἐσμέν' or a related form, or it could be a very rare or non-standard construction. In the provided context, it seems to function as 'we are'.

Inflection: First Person, Plural, Present, Indicative (likely a misspelling of 'ἐσμέν')

Strong’s number: G2070 (Lookup on BibleHub)

Unknown: Yes
