Strong's Lexicon perikukloó: To encircle, to surround Original Word: περικυκλόω Word Origin: From the Greek words "peri" (around) and "kukloó" (to encircle or surround) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H5437 סָבַב (sabab) - to turn, to surround - H5362 נָקַף (naqaph) - to go around, to surround Usage: The verb "perikukloó" means to encircle or surround something or someone. It is often used in a literal sense to describe the act of surrounding a city, a group of people, or an object. In a figurative sense, it can imply being encompassed by circumstances or forces. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, cities were often fortified with walls and could be besieged by surrounding armies. The concept of encircling was a common military tactic used to cut off supplies and force surrender. This imagery would have been familiar to the original audience of the New Testament, as it was a common occurrence in the ancient Near East and the Greco-Roman world.
