Berean Strong's Lexicon heilissó: To roll up, to coil, to wrap Original Word: εἱλίσσω Word Origin: Derived from a primary root word related to winding or coiling. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of rolling or wrapping can be related to Hebrew words such as גָּלַל (galal - Strong's H1556), which means to roll or roll away, often used in the context of rolling stones or scrolls. Usage: The verb "heilissó" is used to describe the action of rolling up or coiling something, often in the context of wrapping or folding. In biblical usage, it can metaphorically refer to the act of bringing something to a close or completion, akin to rolling up a scroll. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, scrolls were the primary medium for written documents. They were made of papyrus or parchment and were rolled up for storage and protection. The imagery of rolling up a scroll was a familiar concept to the original audience of the New Testament, symbolizing the conclusion or fulfillment of a message or prophecy.
