Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 608: ἀποκλείω ἀποκλείω: 1 aorist ἀπεκλεισα; to shut up: τήν θύραν, Luke 13:25. (Genesis 19:10; 2 Samuel 13:17f; often in Herodotus; in Attic prose writings from Thucydides down.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb κλείω (kleiō, meaning "to shut" or "to close"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of exclusion or shutting out in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew terms, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. Some related Hebrew words include: • סָגַר (sagar, Strong's H5462): To shut, close, or deliver up. • בָּדַל (badal, Strong's H914): To divide, separate, or exclude. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of separation or exclusion, often used in contexts of ritual purity, community boundaries, or divine judgment. Usage: The verb ἀποκλείω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of shutting out or excluding someone or something. It conveys the idea of preventing entry or access. Context: The Greek verb ἀποκλείω appears in the New Testament in contexts where exclusion or prevention of access is emphasized. It is used to describe both physical and metaphorical exclusion. The term is often associated with the idea of being shut out from a place or a group, highlighting a barrier that prevents entry or participation. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποκλείω is used in Galatians 4:17: "Those people are zealous to win you over, but not for good. They want to alienate you from us, so that you will be zealous for them." Here, the term is translated as "alienate," indicating the act of creating a division or separation between individuals or groups. The concept of exclusion is significant in biblical theology, often illustrating the separation between those who are within the covenant community and those who are outside. It can also reflect the spiritual state of being separated from God due to sin, emphasizing the need for reconciliation and inclusion through Christ.
