Strong's Lexicon trochos: Wheel, course Original Word: τροχός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb τρέχω (trechō), meaning "to run" or "to course." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "trochos," the concept of cycles and courses can be related to Hebrew words like "גלגל" (galgal), meaning "wheel" or "whirlwind," which appears in contexts describing movement and cyclical events (e.g., Psalm 83:13). Usage: The term "trochos" primarily refers to a wheel or something that revolves. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the "course" or "cycle" of life, particularly in the context of human behavior and its consequences. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a wheel was often associated with movement, progress, and the cyclical nature of life. Wheels were essential in transportation and technology, symbolizing both physical and metaphorical journeys. The metaphorical use of "trochos" in the New Testament reflects this understanding, emphasizing the ongoing and repetitive nature of human actions and their impact.
