Name of God’s Son

ΤΗΝἘΦΟΔΟΝ, τηνἐφοδον

TĒNEPHODON, tēnephodon

Sounds Like: TAYN-EH-fo-don

Translations: the approach, the attack, the invasion, the visit, the journey, the way

From the root: ΕΦΟΔΟΣ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word is a compound of the definite article 'ΤΗΝ' (the) and the noun 'ἘΦΟΔΟΝ' (approach, attack, visit). In Koine Greek, the article typically precedes the noun as a separate word. Its appearance as a single word 'ΤΗΝἘΦΟΔΟΝ' is highly unusual and suggests a possible transcription error, a very rare elision/crasis, or a specific textual variant. The noun 'ἔφοδος' refers to an approach, an attack, an invasion, or a visit, often implying a movement towards a place or person. It can also mean a way or a journey.

Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Feminine

Strong’s number: G2189 (Lookup on BibleHub)
