Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3607: ὀθόνηὀθόνη, ὀθονης, ἡ (from Homer down); a. linen (i. e. fine white linen for women's clothing; cf. Vanicek, Fremdwörter, under the word). b. linen cloth (sheet or sail); so Acts 10:11; Acts 11:5. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὀθόνη in the Old Testament, as the concept of a linen sheet or sail is typically described using different terms. However, linen as a material is often referred to with the Hebrew word פִּשְׁתָּה (pishtah), Strong's Hebrew 6593, which denotes flax or linen. Usage: The term ὀθόνη is used in the New Testament to refer to a sheet or sail, often in the context of a vision or a physical object made of linen. Context: The Greek word ὀθόνη appears in the New Testament in the context of Peter's vision in Acts 10:11 and Acts 11:5. In these passages, ὀθόνη is translated as "sheet" in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB). The vision involves a large sheet being lowered from heaven, containing various animals, symbolizing the inclusion of Gentiles into the early Christian community. The use of ὀθόνη in this context emphasizes the physical and symbolic nature of the vision, as the sheet represents a vessel for God's revelation to Peter.
