Strong's Lexicon komé: Village Original Word: κώμη Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κέω (keo), meaning "to dwell" or "to inhabit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is "כְּפָר" (kephar), which also means village or hamlet, as seen in references like 1 Chronicles 27:25. Usage: The term "komé" refers to a small settlement or village, typically smaller than a city. In the New Testament, it is used to describe rural communities or hamlets where people lived and worked, often in agricultural settings. The word emphasizes the simplicity and communal nature of these settlements. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Greco-Roman world, villages were common in rural areas of Judea, Galilee, and the broader Roman Empire. These villages were often centered around agriculture, with residents engaged in farming, herding, and small-scale trade. Villages were integral to the social and economic fabric of the time, serving as hubs for local interaction and community life. They were typically governed by local elders or leaders and were often situated near water sources or trade routes.
