Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3864: παραθαλάσσιος παραθαλάσσιος, παραθαλασσια, παραθαλασσιον (παρά and θάλασσα), beside the sea, by the sea: Matthew 4:13. (The Sept.; Herodotus, Xenophon, Thucydides, Polybius, Diodorus, others.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from παρά (para, "beside") and θάλασσα (thalassa, "sea"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραθαλάσσιος, the concept of coastal or seaside locations can be related to Hebrew terms that describe geographical features, such as יָם (yam, "sea") and חוֹף (chof, "shore" or "coast"). These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe regions adjacent to bodies of water, similar to the usage of παραθαλάσσιος in the New Testament. Usage: The term παραθαλάσσιος is used in the New Testament to describe locations that are situated by the sea. It is often used to denote regions or areas that are coastal in nature. Context: The Greek term παραθαλάσσιος appears in the New Testament to describe areas that are located beside the sea. This term is used to provide geographical context, often highlighting the proximity of a location to a body of water, which can be significant for understanding the setting of certain events or teachings. In the Berean Standard Bible, παραθαλάσσιος is used in Matthew 4:13: "Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali." Here, the term emphasizes Capernaum's location by the Sea of Galilee, which is crucial for understanding the ministry of Jesus, as many of His teachings and miracles occurred in this region. The coastal setting also facilitated the movement of people and goods, contributing to the spread of Jesus' message. The use of παραθαλάσσιος in the New Testament underscores the importance of geographical context in biblical narratives. Coastal regions were often centers of trade and interaction, providing a backdrop for the diverse audiences that Jesus encountered. The term also reflects the strategic choice of locations for Jesus' ministry, as areas by the sea were accessible and influential.
