ἀστήρ

Strong’s: G792

Associated OET lemmas: ἀστήρ

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, m.

Inflections: ἀστήρ; -έρος

Related lemmas: ἄστρον

Sense 1: star, planet

Semantic entry: 1.30

Semantic domains: Geographical Objects and Features

Subdomains: Heavenly Bodies

Definition: a star or a planet

Notes: Since in RV JDE 1:13 · LV JDE 1:13 · Read together JDE 1:13 godless people are likened to ‘wandering stars’ or ‘planets,’ it may be best to introduce this expression by a simile, for example, ‘they are like wandering stars.’ In some languages there is a serious difficulty involved in translating ἀστὴρ πλανήτης as ‘planet,’ since the planets or their courses through the heavens are regarded as beneficial. In RV JDE 1:13 · LV JDE 1:13 · Read together JDE 1:13 the focal meaning is upon the heretical nature of these godless persons who do not keep on the right course. It may therefore be necessary to translate ἀστέρες πλανῆται in RV JDE 1:13 · LV JDE 1:13 · Read together JDE 1:13 as ‘stars that do not stay where they should stay’ or ‘… do not remain in their right places.’ See also 15.26: πλανήτης.

Sense 2: morning star, bright star in the morning sky

Semantic entry: 1.33

Semantic domains: Geographical Objects and Features

Subdomains: Heavenly Bodies

Definition: (an idiom, literally: morning star) a planet which is conspicuous in the morning sky (usually either Venus or Mars)

Notes: In RV REV 2:28 · LV REV 2:28 · Read together REV 2:28 the singular pronoun αὐτῷ refers to any and all of the persons in Thyatira, and therefore it is usually best rendered as plural. A literal rendering of RV REV 2:28 · LV REV 2:28 · Read together REV 2:28 may be confusing, since it would suggest that God would be handing over the morning star to persons in Thyatira. A more satisfactory rendering may be ‘I will cause the morning star to shine upon them’ or possibly ‘I will bring light into their hearts.’

Collocations: ἀστὴρ πρωϊνός
