Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and φυλάσσω (phulassó, meaning "to guard" or "to keep"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of guarding or keeping is שָׁמַר (shamar, Strong's Hebrew 8104), which means to keep, watch, or preserve. Usage: The verb διαφυλάσσω conveys the idea of guarding or protecting something with great care and diligence. It implies a thorough and vigilant watchfulness, ensuring that the object of protection is kept safe from harm or loss. This term is often used in contexts where the safeguarding of something valuable or important is emphasized. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, the concept of guarding or protecting was significant, especially in military and civic contexts. City walls, treasures, and important documents required vigilant protection. In the biblical context, this term reflects the importance of spiritual and moral vigilance, as well as the divine protection offered by God to His people.
