Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4139 (πλησίον, plēsion): Often translated as "neighbor" in the New Testament, reflecting similar relational and communal aspects. Usage: The Hebrew word "shaken" primarily refers to a neighbor or someone who dwells nearby. It is used to describe individuals who live in close proximity to one another, emphasizing the relational aspect of community living.

The idea of dwelling or residing was not merely about physical proximity but also about shared life, mutual responsibility, and covenantal faithfulness.
