Strong's Lexicon appiryon: Litter, Sedan Chair, Palanquin Original Word: אַפִּרְיוֹן Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as "appiryon" is a specific Hebrew term with cultural significance not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term "appiryon" refers to a portable enclosed chair or litter, often used for carrying a person of high status, such as a king or a bride. It is a symbol of luxury, honor, and protection, often associated with royal or ceremonial occasions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, a litter or palanquin was a common mode of transport for royalty and nobility. It was typically carried by servants or attendants and was a sign of prestige and authority. The use of such a conveyance in biblical times would have been a visual representation of wealth and status, often used in processions or significant events.
