Berean Strong's Lexicon diapleó: To sail through, to pass through by sea Original Word: διαπλέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: diapleó Pronunciation: dee-ap-leh'-o Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ap-leh'-o) Definition: To sail through, to pass through by sea Meaning: I sail over (across). Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "διά" (dia, meaning "through") and the verb "πλέω" (pleó, meaning "to sail"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diapleó," the concept of sea travel and navigation can be related to Hebrew words like "עָבַר" (abar, meaning "to pass over" or "to cross") when used in the context of crossing bodies of water. Usage: The verb "diapleó" is used in the context of maritime travel, specifically referring to the act of sailing through or across a body of water. It conveys the idea of navigating through a sea or ocean, often implying a journey or passage from one place to another. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, sea travel was a common means of transportation and trade. The Greeks and Romans were skilled sailors, and their ships were vital for commerce, military expeditions, and communication between distant regions. The act of sailing, as captured by "diapleó," was an essential part of life and often fraught with challenges such as unpredictable weather and the threat of piracy.
