Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H1366 גְּבוּל (gebul): Meaning "border" or "boundary," this Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the borders of the land allotted to the tribes of Israel.
• H8193 שָׂפָה (saphah): While primarily meaning "lip" or "language," this term can also refer to the edge or border of a territory.

Understanding the concept of συνομορέω enriches the study of biblical geography and the theological implications of boundaries within the biblical narrative.

Usage: This term is used to describe the act of bordering or being adjacent to another area or region. It is often used in geographical contexts to denote territories or lands that share a common boundary.

Context: The Greek term συνομορέω (synomoreō) is a verb that conveys the idea of adjoining or bordering together. It is a compound word formed from σύν (syn), meaning "together" or "with," and ὁμορέω (homoreō), which means "to border" or "to adjoin." This term is primarily used in geographical contexts within ancient Greek literature to describe regions or territories that share a common boundary.

In the context of the New Testament, συνομορέω is not directly found in the canonical texts. However, understanding its meaning can provide insight into the geographical and territorial descriptions that are present in the Bible. The concept of adjoining lands is significant in biblical narratives, especially in the context of the Promised Land and the division of territories among the tribes of Israel.

The idea of bordering or adjoining territories can also be seen in the broader biblical theme of boundaries, both physical and spiritual. The Bible often uses geographical boundaries as metaphors for spiritual truths, such as the separation between the holy and the profane or the distinction between God's people and the nations.
