Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εἱλίσσω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of rolling or wrapping, such as: - Strong's Hebrew 1556: גָּלַל (galal) • to roll, roll away, roll down. - Strong's Hebrew 3634: כָּפַף (kafaf) • to bend, bow down, fold. These Hebrew terms share thematic elements with εἱλίσσω, particularly in the context of divine actions and the transformation of creation. Usage: The verb εἱλίσσω is used in the context of rolling or coiling, often metaphorically to describe the act of wrapping or folding up. Context: The Greek verb εἱλίσσω appears in the New Testament in contexts that convey the action of rolling or folding up, often with a sense of finality or completion. This term is notably used in Hebrews 1:12, where it describes the heavens being rolled up like a garment. The imagery here is powerful, suggesting the transitory nature of the created order in contrast to the eternal nature of God. The act of rolling up the heavens signifies a divine authority over creation, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the ultimate renewal of all things. In the Berean Standard Bible, Hebrews 1:12 reads: "You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end." This passage highlights the contrast between the mutable universe and the immutable God, using the metaphor of rolling up a garment to illustrate the ease and authority with which God will bring about the end of the current creation. The use of εἱλίσσω in this context underscores the biblical theme of God's control over time and space, as well as the promise of a new creation. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of the physical world and the enduring nature of God's promises.
