Strong's Lexicon Golgotha: Golgotha Original Word: Γολγοθᾶ Word Origin: Of Aramaic origin, corresponding to the Hebrew word גֻּלְגֹּלֶת (gulgoleth) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1538 גֻּלְגֹּלֶת (gulgoleth) - meaning "skull" or "head" Usage: Golgotha is known as "the place of the skull." It is the site outside Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was crucified. The term is used in the New Testament to describe the location of this pivotal event in Christian theology. Cultural and Historical Background: Golgotha, also referred to as Calvary in Latin, was a site of execution located near Jerusalem. The name "place of the skull" may derive from the shape of the hill resembling a skull or from its association with death and crucifixion. In the Roman era, crucifixion was a common method of execution for criminals and was intended to be a public spectacle to deter others from similar offenses. The location's proximity to the city allowed many to witness the crucifixion of Jesus, fulfilling various Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's suffering and death.
