Berean Strong's Lexicon Eurokludón: Euroclydon Original Word: Εὐροκλύδων Word Origin: From a combination of Greek words "euros" (east wind) and "kludon" (a violent agitation of the sea, a billow) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Eurokludón, similar concepts of storms and tempests can be found in Hebrew words such as סוּפָה (suphah, Strong's H5492) meaning "storm" or "tempest." Usage: Eurokludón refers to a tempestuous wind or a violent storm, specifically a type of northeasterly wind that occurs in the Mediterranean Sea. It is used in the New Testament to describe a severe storm encountered by the Apostle Paul during his voyage to Rome. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient maritime culture, the Mediterranean Sea was known for its sudden and violent storms, which posed significant dangers to sailors. The Euroclydon, or northeaster, was particularly feared due to its intensity and the difficulty it posed for navigation. Ships of the time were often at the mercy of such storms, lacking the advanced technology and weather forecasting available today.
