Strong's Lexicon klima: Region, zone Original Word: κλίμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κλίνω (klinō), meaning "to incline" or "to slope." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "klima," the concept of regions or territories can be related to Hebrew words like "חֶבֶל" (chebel, Strong's H2256) meaning "region" or "territory." Usage: In the New Testament, "klima" refers to a geographical region or zone, often used to describe a specific area or territory. It conveys the idea of a portion of land characterized by its particular features or climate. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the term "klima" was used to describe the inclination or slope of the earth, which was thought to affect the climate and characteristics of a region. This understanding was carried into the Hellenistic and Roman periods, where it was used to denote specific geographical areas. In the context of the New Testament, "klima" reflects the division of the world into different regions, each with its own distinct cultural and environmental attributes.
