Strong's Lexicon katakleió: To shut up, to enclose, to confine Original Word: κατακλείω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "κατά" (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and "κλείω" (kleió, meaning "to shut" or "to close"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of shutting or enclosing is סָגַר (sagar), which means to shut, close, or imprison. This term is used in various Old Testament passages to describe physical and metaphorical confinement. Usage: The verb "katakleió" is used to describe the action of shutting up or enclosing something or someone. It conveys a sense of confinement or restriction, often implying a complete or thorough closing off. In the New Testament, it can be used both literally, as in shutting a door, and metaphorically, as in confining or restricting someone or something. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of shutting or enclosing was significant in various contexts, such as securing a home, imprisoning individuals, or protecting valuables. The act of closing or sealing something was often associated with authority and control. In a biblical context, the idea of being "shut up" could also carry spiritual implications, such as being confined by sin or judgment.
