Berean Strong's Lexicon Galilaia: Galilee Original Word: Γαλιλαία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: Galilaia Pronunciation: gah-lee-LAH-yah Phonetic Spelling: (gal-il-ah'-yah) Definition: Galilee Meaning: Galilee, a district towards the southern end of the Roman province Syria; the northern division of Palestine. Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word גָּלִיל (Galil), meaning "circle" or "district." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1551 גָּלִיל (Galil): Refers to a district or region, often used in the Old Testament to describe the region of Galilee. Usage: Galilaia refers to the region of Galilee, a significant area in northern Israel during the time of Jesus. It is frequently mentioned in the New Testament as the setting for much of Jesus' ministry, including His teachings, miracles, and the calling of His disciples. Cultural and Historical Background: Galilee was a fertile and populous region known for its diverse population, including Jews and Gentiles. It was bordered by the Sea of Galilee to the east and was a center of agriculture and fishing. The region was under Roman rule during the time of Jesus, and its inhabitants were often looked down upon by those from Judea due to their distinct accent and customs. Despite this, Galilee played a crucial role in the life and ministry of Jesus, serving as the backdrop for many of His parables and miracles.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1056: Γαλιλαία Γαλιλαία, Γαλιλαίας, ἡ, Galilee, (from הַגָּלִילָה, 2 Kings 15:29; הַגָּלִיל, Joshua 20:7; Joshua 21:32; גָּלִיל אֶרֶץ, 1 Kings 9:11, i. e. the circle or circuit, by which name even before the exile a certain district of northern Palestine was designated; the Sept. Γαλιλαία); the name of a region of northern Palestine, bounded on the north by Syria, on the west by Sidon, Tyre, Ptolemais and their territories and the promontory of Carmel, on the south by Samaria and on the east by the Jordan. It was divided into Upper Galilee (extending from the borders of Tyre and Sidon to the sources of the Jordan), and Lower Galilee (which, lower and more level, embraced the lands of the tribes of Issachar and Zebulun and the part of Naphtali bordering on the Sea of Galilee): ἡ ἄνω καί ἡ κάτω Γαλιλαία (Josephus, b. j. 3, 3, 1, where its boundaries are given). It was a very fertile region, populous, having 204 towns and villages (Josephus, Vita45), and inasmuch as it had, especially in the upper part, many Gentiles among its inhabitants (Judges 1:30-33; Strabo 16, 34, p. 760), it was called, Matthew 4:15, Γαλιλαία τῶν ἐθνῶν (Isaiah 8:23 ()), and, 1 Macc. 5:15, Γαλιλαία ἀλλοφύλων. Often mentioned in the Gospels, and three times in the Acts, viz., Acts 9:31; Acts 10:37; Acts 13:31. (Cf. Merrill, Galilee in the Time of Christ, Boston 1881.)
