Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from Σιδών (Sidon), a prominent ancient Phoenician city located on the Mediterranean coast, north of Tyre.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H6721 צִידוֹן (Tsidon): Sidon, a Phoenician city.
- H6722 צִידוֹנִי (Tsidoni): Sidonian; an inhabitant of Sidon.

Usage: The term Σιδώνιος is used to describe individuals or things that originate from or are associated with the city of Sidon. It is used in the New Testament to refer to people from Sidon or to describe their characteristics.

Context: The term Σιδώνιος (Sidonios) is closely linked to the ancient city of Sidon, one of the oldest and most significant cities of the Phoenician civilization. Sidon was known for its skilled artisans, particularly in glass-making and purple dye production, and played a crucial role in maritime trade across the Mediterranean.

In the New Testament, Sidon is mentioned in several contexts, often highlighting its geographical and cultural significance. Jesus visited the region of Tyre and Sidon during His ministry, as recorded in the Gospels. In Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark 7:24-30, Jesus encounters a Syrophoenician woman from the vicinity of Sidon, demonstrating His compassion and the extension of His ministry beyond Jewish territories.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) references Sidon in passages such as Matthew 11:21-22, where Jesus pronounces woes on unrepentant cities, comparing them to Tyre and Sidon. These cities, despite their pagan backgrounds, would have repented had they witnessed the miracles performed in the Jewish cities.

Sidon is also mentioned in Acts 27:3, where Paul, on his journey to Rome, is allowed to visit friends in Sidon, indicating the presence of a Christian community or supportive individuals in the city.

The term Σιδώνιος, therefore, encapsulates the cultural and historical identity of Sidon and its people, reflecting their interactions with the broader biblical narrative.
