Berean Strong's Lexicon egkatoikeó: To dwell in, to inhabit Original Word: ἐγκατοικέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: egkatoikeó Pronunciation: eng-ka-toy-KEH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (eng-kat-oy-keh'-o) Definition: To dwell in, to inhabit Meaning: I dwell in, among. Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, "in") and κατοικέω (katoikeó, "to dwell" or "to inhabit") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐγκατοικέω, the concept of dwelling is often expressed in Hebrew by the verb שָׁכַן (shakan, Strong's H7931), which is used to describe God's presence dwelling among His people. Usage: The verb ἐγκατοικέω is used to describe the act of dwelling or residing within a particular place. It conveys a sense of permanence and establishment, often implying a settled or continuous habitation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the indwelling presence of God or His Spirit within believers, emphasizing a deep, abiding relationship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of dwelling or inhabiting was closely tied to identity and belonging. To dwell in a city or region often meant to be a part of its community and culture. In the Jewish context, the idea of God dwelling among His people was central to their understanding of the covenant relationship, as seen in the tabernacle and temple imagery. The New Testament expands this concept to the personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers, signifying a new covenant relationship through Christ.
