Strong's Lexicon perix: Around, round about, on all sides Original Word: περίξ Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "peri" (περί), meaning "around" or "about," combined with the suffix "-x," indicating a spatial relationship. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is סָבִיב (sabiḇ), which also means "around" or "surrounding." Usage: The adverb "perix" is used to describe something that is situated or occurring around or on all sides of a particular point or object. It conveys the idea of encircling or surrounding. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of being "around" or "surrounding" was often used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. It could describe physical surroundings, such as walls around a city, or more abstract ideas, such as influence or presence. In the biblical context, "perix" often emphasizes the completeness or totality of what is being described, whether it be God's protection or the encampment of armies.
