Berean Strong's Lexicon kleió: To shut, close, lock Original Word: κλείω Word Origin: From a primary word κλείς (kleis), meaning "a key." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - סָגַר (sagar) - Strong's Hebrew 5462: To shut, close, or stop up. - נָעַל (na'al) - Strong's Hebrew 5274: To lock, bolt, or shut. Usage: The Greek verb "kleió" primarily means to shut, close, or lock something. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of closing a door or gate, often with the implication of preventing entry or access. This term can also be used metaphorically to describe the closing off of opportunities or the withholding of something. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, doors and gates were crucial for security and privacy. The act of shutting a door was significant, as it could denote safety, exclusion, or the end of an opportunity. In a spiritual context, the concept of opening and closing is often associated with divine authority and control over access to spiritual truths or the kingdom of God.
