AI Summary
To write — to form letters or characters, or to record something in written form 1234. This covers writing by hand, such as tracing letters on a writing surface, and more broadly putting something into writing or on record, as with a letter, a document, or an inscription 13. It is used of authoritative texts, especially of Scripture, in the standing formula "it is written," referring to what a text records as settled and authoritative 1. It also describes the act of writing to inform or instruct someone, and of documents such as a book, a letter, a notice, or a commandment that contain a written record or message 1.
Earlier and more general Greek usage included scratching or scraping a surface, and later sketching, drawing, or painting a figure — senses belonging to older or wider Greek literature rather than to the biblical text itself 13.
