Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ὑπέρ (hyper), meaning "above" or "over," and the noun ὠον (ōion), meaning "egg" or "roof." The term collectively refers to something that is "above" or "upper." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπερῷον, similar concepts can be found in the Old Testament with terms like "aliyah" (עֲלִיָּה), which refers to an upper room or chamber, as seen in passages like 1 Kings 17:19 and 2 Kings 4:10-11. These rooms were often used for private or sacred purposes, paralleling the New Testament usage of ὑπερῷον. Usage: The term ὑπερῷον is used in the New Testament to describe an upper room, particularly in the context of significant gatherings or events. It is most notably associated with the Last Supper and the early gatherings of the disciples. Context: The term ὑπερῷον appears in the New Testament in contexts that highlight its importance as a place of gathering and significant events. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is translated as "upper room." The most notable references include: • Acts 1:13: "When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying..." This passage describes the disciples gathering in an upper room in Jerusalem after the ascension of Jesus. It served as a place of prayer and decision-making as they awaited the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. • Acts 9:37-39: The upper room is mentioned in the context of the death of Tabitha (Dorcas) in Joppa. After her death, her body was laid in an upper room, and Peter was called to come and pray for her, resulting in her miraculous resurrection. The upper room holds a place of significance in the early Christian community as a setting for prayer, fellowship, and divine encounters. It symbolizes a space set apart for spiritual activities and communal life among the followers of Jesus.
