Strong's Lexicon Akulas: Aquila Original Word: Ἀκύλας Word Origin: Of Latin origin, derived from the Latin name "Aquila," meaning "eagle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Aquila, as it is a Latin name. However, the concept of a "teacher" or "instructor" in the Hebrew context can be linked to entries like Strong's Hebrew 3384 (יָרָה, yarah), meaning "to teach" or "to instruct." Usage: Aquila is a Jewish Christian mentioned in the New Testament, known for his close association with the Apostle Paul. He is often mentioned alongside his wife, Priscilla (or Prisca), and is recognized for his role in the early Christian church as a teacher and supporter of Paul’s ministry. Aquila is noted for his tent-making trade, which he shared with Paul. Cultural and Historical Background: Aquila was a native of Pontus, a region in modern-day Turkey. He and his wife Priscilla were expelled from Rome by the edict of Emperor Claudius, which targeted Jews. They settled in Corinth, where they met Paul and became his co-workers in the ministry. Aquila and Priscilla were instrumental in the early church, hosting a house church and instructing Apollos, an eloquent preacher, in the way of God more accurately (Acts 18:26).
