Strong's Lexicon anógeon: Upper room, upper chamber Original Word: ἀνώγεον Word Origin: From ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "above") and γῆ (ge, meaning "earth" or "ground") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anógeon," the concept of an upper room can be related to the Hebrew term "עֲלִיָּה" (aliyah), which also refers to an upper chamber or loft. Usage: The term "anógeon" refers to an upper room or chamber, typically located on the upper floor of a house. In the context of the New Testament, it is often associated with a place of gathering, prayer, or significant events, such as the Last Supper. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman architecture, houses often had an upper room or chamber that was used for various purposes, including storage, sleeping, or as a guest room. These rooms were accessed by an external staircase and provided a private space away from the main living areas. In the New Testament, the upper room holds particular significance as a place of fellowship and divine encounter. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for anagaion, q.v.
