Strong's Concordance eikón: an image, i.e. lit. statue, fig. representation Original Word: εἰκών, όνος, ἡPart of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: eikón Phonetic Spelling: (i-kone') Short Definition: an image, likeness, bust Definition: an image, likeness, bust. HELPS Word-studies 1504 eikṓn (from 1503 /eíkō, "be like") – properly, "mirror-like representation," referring to what is very close in resemblance (like a "high-definition" projection, as defined by the context). Image (1504 /eikṓn) then exactly reflects its source (what it directly corresponds to). For example, Christ is the very image (1504 /eikṓn, supreme expression) of the Godhead (see 2 Cor 4:4; Col 1:15). "1504 (eikṓn) assumes a prototype, of which it not merely resembles, but from which it is drawn" (R. Trench). 1504 (eikṓn) then is more than a "shadow"; rather it is a replication (F. F. Bruce, Hebrews, 226; see also Lightfoot at Col 3:10 and 2:21).
