Berean Strong's Lexicon peran: Beyond, across, on the other side Original Word: πέραν Word Origin: From a derivative of the Greek word πέρα (pera), meaning "beyond" or "further." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is עֵבֶר (eber), Strong's Hebrew #5676, which also means "beyond" or "across." Usage: The Greek word "peran" is used to denote a location that is beyond or across a certain point, often referring to the other side of a body of water or a boundary. It is used in the New Testament to describe geographical locations, particularly in relation to the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "peran" often refers to regions across the Jordan River or the Sea of Galilee. These areas were significant in the ministry of Jesus, as He frequently traveled across these bodies of water to reach different communities. The term reflects the geographical and cultural divisions present in the land of Israel during the time of Jesus, where crossing to the "other side" could mean entering a different cultural or political region.
