Strong's Lexicon akron: extremity, top, tip, end Original Word: ἄκρον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἄκρος (akros), meaning "top" or "extreme." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is קָצֶה (qatseh), meaning "end" or "extremity." Usage: The Greek word "akron" refers to the utmost part or the extreme end of something. It is often used to describe the tip or top of an object, such as a mountain, tree, or even a garment. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the extremities or outermost parts of a region or object. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "akron" was significant in various contexts, including geography, architecture, and daily life. The term could refer to the highest point of a city, such as the acropolis, or the extremities of a garment, which held symbolic meaning in terms of purity and completeness. Understanding "akron" in its cultural context helps illuminate its metaphorical uses in the New Testament.
