Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 3725: ὅριον ὅριον, ὁρίου, τό (from ὅρος (boundary)) (fr. Sophocles down), a bound, limit, in the N. T. always in plural (like Latinfines) boundaries (R. V. borders), equivalent to region, district, land, territory: Matthew 2:16; Matthew 4:13; Matthew 8:34; Matthew 15:22, 39; Matthew 19:1; Mark 5:17; Mark 7:24 L T Tr WH,; ; Acts 13:50. (the Sept. very often for גֲּבוּל; several times for גְּבוּלָה.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὅρος (horos), meaning "boundary" or "limit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ὅριον corresponds to several Hebrew terms that denote boundaries or borders, such as: • Strong's Hebrew 1366: גְּבוּל (gebul) • meaning "border" or "boundary." • Strong's Hebrew 1367: גְּבוּלָה (gebulah) • meaning "border" or "territory." • Strong's Hebrew 1368: גְּבוּלִי (gebuli) • meaning "border" or "boundary." These Hebrew terms similarly describe the physical limits of territories and are used throughout the Old Testament to define the borders of the Promised Land and other regions significant to the narrative of Israel's history. Usage: In the New Testament, ὅριον is used to describe the physical boundaries of regions or territories. It appears in contexts where geographical limits are being defined or described. Context: The Greek term ὅριον is frequently encountered in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, where it is used to delineate the geographical boundaries of regions significant to the narrative. For instance, in the Gospel of Matthew, ὅριον is used to describe the borders of Judea and the surrounding regions. In Matthew 4:13, it is written, "Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali." Here, ὅριον helps to specify the area where Jesus began His ministry. The term is also used in the context of Jesus' travels and the spread of His fame. In Mark 1:28, it states, "And the news about Him spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee." The use of ὅριον emphasizes the extent of the area affected by Jesus' early ministry. Additionally, ὅριον is employed in parables and teachings to illustrate spiritual truths. In Matthew 19:1, it is used to describe the movement of Jesus as He transitions from one region to another, highlighting the geographical context of His ministry: "When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan." The term underscores the importance of geographical and cultural boundaries in the biblical narrative, providing context for the events and teachings of Jesus. It also reflects the historical and social realities of the time, where regions were defined by distinct borders.
