Strong's Lexicon oikia: House, household, dwelling Original Word: οἰκία Word Origin: Derived from οἶκος (oikos), meaning "house" or "home." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - בַּיִת (bayith) - Strong's Hebrew 1004, meaning "house" or "household." Usage: The Greek word "oikia" primarily refers to a physical structure or building used as a dwelling place, commonly translated as "house" or "home." It can also extend to mean "household," encompassing the family or those living within the house. In the New Testament, "oikia" is used both literally and metaphorically, often symbolizing a place of safety, community, and familial relationships. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of "oikia" was central to social and economic life. A household often included not just the nuclear family but also extended family members, servants, and sometimes business operations. The "oikia" was a place of hospitality and community gatherings, reflecting the importance of family and social networks in ancient society. In Jewish culture, the household was also a place of religious instruction and observance, integral to the community's spiritual life.
