Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2730 (κατοικέω, katoikeō): This Greek term means to dwell, reside, or inhabit, capturing the sense of remaining or staying in a place, similar to the extended meaning of דּוּר (dur) as to remain. Usage: The verb דּוּר (dur) is used in the context of movement, specifically to gyrate or revolve, and by extension, to remain or dwell in a place. It conveys the idea of encircling or surrounding, often implying a continuous or enduring presence. Context: The Hebrew root דּוּר (dur) is a verb that primarily denotes the action of gyrating or revolving. This concept of circular motion can be metaphorically extended to mean remaining or dwelling in a particular location. The term is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often to describe the act of encircling or surrounding something, which can imply a protective or persistent presence. The notion of remaining or dwelling is derived from the idea of being in a constant or enduring state, much like the continuous motion of gyration.
