 |

A word could express things in a different light depending on how it's applied.
A great ensample is:
| Revelation 1:1-2 | | 1The revelation of Jesus Christe, which God gave unto him, for to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass. And he sent and shewed by his angel unto his servant John, 2which bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. |
| Quote: | Word: σημαινω
Pronounc: say-mah'-ee-no
Strong: #G4591
Transliter: semaino
from sema (a mark; of uncertain derivation); to indicate:--signify.
|
At Re 1:1 the original English translation of the Greek here translates "saymaheeno" as "shewed" to indicate a profound announcement to be known.
SHEW is an old English word that also means to "DENOTE" which the dictionaries say to be:
| Quote: | 1. a mark or sign of; indicate:
2. to be a name or designation for; mean.
3. to represent by a symbol; stand as a symbol for.
|
Here's similar Hebrew words of interest:

Yea a word could vary in meaning specially when it comes to translation from Hebrew, Greek and Latin. Take for ensample the word many times translated as "Gentiles" in the Bible. Sometimes "Gentile" even refers to somebody of the Israel "Nation" or the Israelites, that is: those people that are descendants of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. In other instances, the context will show that it is being used of a foreign nation or people of another faith.
| Genesis 10:4-5 | | 4And the sons of Javan were: Elisa, Tharsis, Cithim, and Dodanim. 5Of these came the Isles of the gentiles in their countries, every man in his speech, kindred and nation. |
| Genesis 25:23 | | And the LORD said unto her there are two manner of people in thy womb, and two nations shall spring out of thy bowels, and the one nation shall be mightier than the other and the eldest shall be servant unto the younger. |
| Latin wrote: | Word: gentilis, gentilis, gentile
ADJ
of same gens (from which also derive gene, genus and genesis); belonging to the same house or family/tribe/clan or race.
Word: gentilis, gentilis
N M
gentiles (pl.); foreigners: non-Jews (to Jew); heathens (to Christian), not of one's faith; pagan
|
| Luke 7:2-5 | | 2And the servant of a certain Centurion was sick, and ready to die, whom he made much of. 3And when he heard of Jesu, he sent unto him the seniors of the jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4And they came to Jesus and besought him instantly, saying: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him. 5For he loveth our nation, and hath built us a synagogue. |
| Greek wrote: | Word: εθνος
Pronounc: eth'-nos
Strong: #G1484
Transliter: ethnos
probably from 1486; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by implication, pagan):--Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
Word: εθω
Pronounc: eth'-o
Strong: #G1486
Transliter: etho
a primary verb; to be used (by habit or conventionality); neuter perfect participle usage:--be custom (manner, wont). |
| Genesis 12:1-2 | | 1Then the LORD said unto Abram: Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, into a land which I will shew thee. 2And I will make of thee a mighty people, and will bless thee, and make thy name great, that thou mayst be a blessing. |
| Hebrew wrote: | Word: גוי
Pronounc: go'-ee
Strong: #H1471
Transliter: gowy
rarely (shortened) goy go'-ee; apparently from the same root as 1465 (in the sense of massing); a foreign nation; hence, a Gentile; also (figuratively) a troop of animals, or a flight of locusts:--Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
Word: גוה
Pronounc: gay-vaw'
Strong: #H1465
Transliter: gevah
feminine of 1460; the back, i.e. (by extensive) the person:--body.
Word: גו
Pronounc: gave
Strong: #H1460
Transliter: gev
from 1342 (corresponding to 1354); the back; by analogy, the middle:--+ among, back, body.
Word: גב
Pronounc: gab
Strong: #H1354
Transliter: gab
from an unused root meaning to hollow or curve; the back (as rounded (compare 1460 and 1479); by analogy, the top or rim, a boss, a vault, arch of eye, bulwarks, etc.:--back, body, boss, eminent (higher) place, (eye)brows, nave, ring.
Word: גוף
Pronounc: goof
Strong: #H1479
Transliter: guwph
a primitive root; properly, to hollow or arch, i.e. (figuratively) close; to shut:--shut.
Word: גאה
Pronounc: gaw-aw'
Strong: #H1342
Transliter: ga'ah
a primitive root; to mount up; hence, in general, to rise, (figuratively) be majestic:--gloriously, grow up, increase, be risen, triumph. |
| Romans 4:17-18 | | 17As it is written: I have ordained thee a father to many nations, before God whom thou hast believed, which quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18Which Abraham, contrary to hope, believed in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken: So shall thy seed be. ([as the stars of heaven, and sand of the sea]) |
Hence in the end what distinguishes a people or nation (even a word) is the faith that "arises" within it.

| Galatians 3:7 | | Understand therefore, that they which are of faith, are the children of Abraham. |
| Hebrews 11 | | 1Faith is a sure confidence of things which are hoped for, and a certainty of things which are not seen. 2By it the elders were well reported of. 3Thorow faith we understand that the world was ordained, by the word of God: That by the means of things which appear, things which are invisible might be known. 4By faith Abel offered unto God a more plenteous sacrifice than Cain: by which, he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by which also he being dead, yet speaketh. 5By faith was Enoch translated that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had taken him away. Before he was taken away, he obtained record, that he had pleased God: 6but without faith it is unpossible to please him. For he that cometh to God, must believe that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek him. 7By faith Noah honoured God, after that he was warned of things which were not seen, and prepared the ark to the saving of his household, thorow the which ark he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which cometh by faith. 8By faith Abraham, when he was called obeyed to go out into a place, which he should afterward receive to inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he should go. 9By faith he removed into the land that was promised him, as into a strange country, and dwelt in tabernacles: and so did Isaac, and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10For he looked for a city having a foundation, whose builder and maker is God. 11Thorow faith Sara also received strength to be with child, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful which had promised. 12And therefore sprang there of one (and of one which was as good as dead) so many in multitude, as the stars of the sky, and as the sand of the sea shore which is innumerable. 13And they all died in faith, and received not the promises: but saw them afar off, and believed them, and saluted them: and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14They that say such things, declare that they seek a country. 15Also if they had been mindful of that country, from whence they came, they had leisure to have returned again. 16But now they desire a better, that is to say a celestial. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17In faith Abraham offered up Isaac, when he was tempted, and he offered him being his only son, in whom he had received the promises: 18Of whom it was said, in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19for he considered, that God was able to raise up again from death. Wherefore received he him, as an ensample of the resurrection. 20In faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, as concerning things to come. 21By faith Jacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his sceptre. 22By faith Joseph when he died, remembered the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment of his bones. 23By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months of his father and mother, because they saw he was a proper child: neither feared they the king's commandment. 24By faith Moses when he was of a great age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25and chose rather to suffer adversity with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, 26and esteemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, than the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect unto the reward. 27By faith he forsook Egypt, and feared not the fierceness of the king. For he endured, even as he had seen him which is invisible. 28Thorow faith he ordained the ester lamb, and the effusion of blood, lest he that destroyed the first born should touch them. 29By faith they passed thorow the reed sea as by dry land, which when the egyptians had assayed to do, they were drowned. 30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about, seven days. 31By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, after she had received the spies to lodging peaceably. 32And what shall I more say, the time would be too short for me to tell of Gideon, of Barach, and of Samson, and of Jephthae. Also of David and Samuel, and of the prophets, 33which thorow faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained the promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, of weak were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 The women received their dead raised to life again. Other were racked, and would not be delivered, that they might receive a better resurrection. 36Other tasted of mockings, and scourgings, moreover of bonds and prisonment: 37were stoned, were hewn asunder, were tempted, were slain with swords, walked up and down in sheep skins, in goat skins, in need, tribulation, and vexation, 38which the world was not worthy of: They wandered in wilderness, in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. 39And these all thorow faith obtained good report, and received not the promise; 40God providing a better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. |
