Strong's Lexicon geitón: Neighbor Original Word: γείτων Word Origin: Derived from the root word γῆ (gē), meaning "earth" or "land." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a neighbor is רֵעַ (rea, Strong's Hebrew 7453), which also means friend or companion. Usage: The term "geitón" refers to a neighbor, someone who lives nearby or in close proximity. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who are physically close in terms of residence, but it also carries a broader implication of social and communal relationships. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of a neighbor was significant in both Jewish and Gentile communities. Neighbors were often involved in each other's lives, sharing resources, and providing mutual support. The Jewish understanding of a neighbor was deeply rooted in the Torah, where loving one's neighbor was a fundamental commandment (Leviticus 19:18). This cultural backdrop is essential for understanding the New Testament's emphasis on neighborly love and community.
