Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is זָר (zar), meaning "strange" or "foreign."

Usage: The Greek word "allotrios" is used to describe something that is foreign or belongs to another person. It often conveys the idea of something that is not one's own, whether it be property, people, or even ideas. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the distinction between what is familiar and what is alien or unauthorized.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of ownership and belonging was significant, especially in terms of property and social relationships. The term "allotrios" would have been understood in this context as referring to something outside one's rightful domain or possession. This concept also had implications in Jewish culture, where the distinction between what was holy and common, or clean and unclean, was important.
