Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of encirclement or surrounding is also present in the Hebrew Scriptures, with words such as סָבִיב (sabiḇ, Strong's Hebrew 5439) often used to convey similar meanings. This Hebrew term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe things that are round about or encircling, such as the arrangement of the tribes around the tabernacle in the wilderness (Numbers 2:2).

In summary, κύκλῳ is a Greek adverb that conveys the idea of being in a circle or surrounding something. It is used in the New Testament to describe both literal and metaphorical encirclement, often highlighting the centrality and significance of the object or person being surrounded.

Usage: The word κύκλῳ is used in the New Testament to describe the spatial arrangement of objects or people, often indicating a surrounding or encircling position. It appears in contexts where something is positioned around a central point or object.

Context: The Greek adverb κύκλῳ is employed in the New Testament to convey the idea of encirclement or surrounding. It is often used in a literal sense to describe physical arrangements, such as people or objects positioned around a central figure or location. For example, in the Book of Revelation, κύκλῳ is used to describe the arrangement of the elders and living creatures around the throne of God, emphasizing the centrality and majesty of the divine presence.

In Revelation 4:4 (BSB), it states: "Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads." Here, κύκλῳ underscores the organized and reverent positioning of the elders in relation to the throne, highlighting the order and worship in the heavenly realm.

The use of κύκλῳ can also be metaphorical, indicating a comprehensive or all-encompassing nature of an action or event. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty and the encompassing nature of His plans and purposes.
