Strong's Lexicon kukló: around, round about, surrounding Original Word: κύκλῳ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun κύκλος (kyklos), meaning "circle" or "ring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is סָבִיב (sabiḇ), Strong's Hebrew 5439, which also means "around" or "surrounding." Usage: The adverb "kukló" is used in the New Testament to describe something that is encircling or surrounding. It often conveys the idea of being in a circular formation or encompassing an area or object. This term is used to depict physical surroundings or to describe a group of people or objects that are positioned around a central point. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a circle or being surrounded was significant in various contexts, from military formations to architectural designs. The idea of being encircled could imply protection, completeness, or even threat, depending on the context. In the biblical context, being surrounded often carries a connotation of divine protection or the presence of a multitude.
