ξύλινος, ξυλίνη, ξύλινον (ξύλον), from Pindar and Herodotus down, wooden, made of wood: σκεύη, 2 Timothy 2:20; neuter plural εἴδωλα, Revelation 9:20 (Θεοί, Baruch 6:30 (Epistle Jeremiah 29)).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ξύλον (xýlon), meaning "wood" or "tree."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of wooden objects or materials in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by the word עֵץ (ets), Strong's Hebrew 6086. This term is used extensively throughout the Old Testament to refer to trees, wood, and wooden objects, paralleling the Greek ξύλον from which ξύλινος is derived.

Usage: The term ξύλινος is used in the New Testament to describe objects made of wood. It is often used in a literal sense to refer to wooden items or structures.

Context: The Greek adjective ξύλινος appears in the New Testament to describe objects that are made of wood. This term is used to emphasize the material composition of an item, often in contrast to other materials such as metal or stone. The use of ξύλινος can be found in contexts where the material nature of an object is significant to the narrative or teaching.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ξύλινος is used in Revelation 9:20: "The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk." Here, ξύλινος is part of a list describing the materials of idols, highlighting the futility of worshiping man-made objects that lack life and power.

The use of ξύλινος in the New Testament serves as a reminder of the transient and perishable nature of earthly materials, contrasting with the eternal and spiritual truths of the Christian faith. It underscores the biblical theme of distinguishing between the Creator and the created, urging believers to focus on the eternal rather than the temporal.
