Eloquent:

el'-o-kwent:

"Moses said.... I am not eloquent" ('ish debharim, "a man of words" (Ex 4:10)); but Aaron could "speak well." In Isa 3:3 the Revised Version (British and American) bin, "intelligent," is rendered "skilful (enchanter)," the King James Version "eloquent (orator)." Apollos was "an eloquent man" (logios, "full of words" (Ac 18:24, the King James Version margin, "a learned man")).

Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g3052 Greek: logios

Eloquent:

an adjective, from logos, "a word," primarily meant "learned, a man skilled in literature and the arts." In the AV of Act 18:24, it is translated "eloquent," said of Apollos; the RV is almost certainly right in translating it "learned." It was much more frequently used among the Greeks of one who was erudite than of one who was skilled in words. He had stores of "learning" and could use it convincingly.
