Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גּוּר (gur), which means "to sojourn" or "to dwell temporarily."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament for מָגוּר, related concepts can be found in terms such as παροικία (paroikia, Strong's Greek 3940), which means "sojourning" or "temporary residence," and οἰκία (oikia, Strong's Greek 3614), meaning "house" or "dwelling." These terms capture the essence of dwelling and habitation found in the Hebrew מָגוּר.

Usage: The word מָגוּר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both temporary and permanent places of residence. It reflects the concept of dwelling, whether in a foreign land or in one's own established home.

Context: • מָגוּר (magur) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the dual nature of human habitation as both temporary and permanent. This term is used to describe the dwelling places of individuals or groups, emphasizing the transient nature of life and the notion of sojourning.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מָגוּר is translated in contexts that reflect the idea of dwelling or habitation. For example, in Psalm 55:15, it is used to describe the "house" or "dwelling" of the wicked: "Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes."
• The term underscores the biblical theme of life as a journey, where earthly dwellings are temporary and point towards a more permanent, spiritual residence with God. This reflects the broader biblical narrative of pilgrimage and the search for a lasting home.
