Strong's Lexicon kranion: Skull Original Word: κρανίον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "kara" meaning "head." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent is "גֻּלְגֹּלֶת" (gulgolet), which also means "skull" or "head." Usage: The term "kranion" refers to the skull, specifically the bony structure of the head. In the New Testament, it is used in the context of the place where Jesus was crucified, known as "Golgotha," which is translated as "the place of the skull." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, the skull was often associated with death and mortality, serving as a stark reminder of human frailty. The location known as Golgotha, or "the place of the skull," was likely named for its skull-like appearance or because it was a site of execution. This place held significant meaning in the context of Roman crucifixions, which were public spectacles intended to deter crime and rebellion.
