It shares a similar semantic range with ὕλη, emphasizing the natural and utilitarian aspects of wood. Usage: In the New Testament, ὕλη is used to describe physical wood or timber, often in the context of construction or natural resources. It is not frequently used in the New Testament but appears in discussions related to material or physical substance. Context: The Greek word ὕλη (hylē) appears in the New Testament with a focus on its literal meaning of "wood" or "forest." This term is rooted in the ancient understanding of the natural world, where wood was a primary resource for building, fuel, and crafting. In classical Greek literature, ὕλη also carried philosophical connotations, referring to the basic material or substance of the universe, a concept that influenced later theological and philosophical discussions.
