What it means

† Ἑβραῖος (WH, Ἐβ-), -α, -ον (Aram, עִבְרַי), as subst., ὁ Ἑ.,

[in LXX for עֵבֶר, עִבְרִי;]

a Hebrew.

1. In OT, of Israelites in contrast with those of another race (Ge 14:13, Ex 1:15, De 15:12, al.).

2. In NT as the correlative of Ἑλληνιστής, a Jew who had adopted, in greater or less degree, Greek culture and Greek language. The distinction was not merely linguistic (DB, ii, 325); as far as it was so, Συριστής would be a more correct Greek term for the Jew of Semitic speech (v.s. Ἑβραΐς, and cf. Dalman, Words, 7): Ac 6:1, II Co 11:22, Phl 3:5.†
