אֵמֶר

ῥῆμα rhēma · G4487 · word, saying, message

אֵמֶר (ʼêmer, H561) and ῥῆμα (rhēma, G4487) both denote spoken utterances or words, with ῥῆμα (rhēma, G4487) serving as the standard Greek rendering of the Hebrew term in LXX contexts where individual sayings, commands, or spoken matters are in view.

λόγος lógos · G3056 · word, saying, message

Hebrew אֵמֶר (ʼêmer, H561) and Greek λόγος (lógos, G3056) both denote spoken utterance or verbal communication, with λόγος serving as the standard LXX rendering for the Hebrew term's core sense of 'word' or 'saying' in prophetic and narrative discourse contexts.

λόγιον lógion · G3051 · sayings, oracles, message

Greek λόγιον (lógion, G3051) denotes specifically divine utterances or oracles of God, representing a register-narrowed subset of the broader Hebrew אֵמֶר (ʼêmer, H561) semantic range of speech/word/saying; the equivalence holds where אֵמֶר (ʼêmer, H561) refers to God's spoken word but λόγιον (lógion, G3051) cannot capture אֵמֶר (ʼêmer, H561)'s general-register uses for human speech.
