D., under the word Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, likely derived from the Hebrew word חַמָּה (chammah), meaning "warm spring."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Emmaus is thought to be related to the Hebrew חַמָּה (chammah • Strong's Hebrew 2535), which means "heat" or "sun," possibly referring to a warm spring or a place associated with warmth. Usage: The term Ἐμμαοῦς is used in the New Testament to refer to a specific village located approximately seven miles from Jerusalem. It is notably mentioned in the context of the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus. Context: Emmaus is a village of significant biblical importance, primarily recognized from the account in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 24:13-35, two disciples are traveling to Emmaus on the day of Jesus' resurrection. As they walk, they are joined by the resurrected Jesus, although they do not recognize Him initially. During their journey, Jesus explains the Scriptures concerning Himself, and it is only when He breaks bread with them that their eyes are opened, and they recognize Him. This event underscores the fulfillment of prophecy and the revelation of Jesus as the risen Lord. The exact location of Emmaus has been a subject of debate, with several sites proposed, but its precise identification remains uncertain. The narrative emphasizes themes of revelation, understanding, and the transformative power of encountering the risen Christ.
