Strong's Lexicon milion: Mile Original Word: μίλιον Word Origin: Derived from Latin "mille," meaning "thousand." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "μίλιον" as the concept of a Roman mile is specific to the Greco-Roman world. However, the Hebrew Bible uses various terms for distance, such as "אמה" (amah, cubit) and "פרסה" (parashah, a measure of distance). Usage: In the New Testament, "μίλιον" refers to a Roman mile, which is approximately 1,480 meters or about 4,854 feet. It is used to describe a specific distance, particularly in the context of travel or legal requirements. Cultural and Historical Background: The Roman mile was a standard unit of distance in the Roman Empire, used for measuring roads and distances between locations. It was a practical measure for Roman soldiers and travelers, as roads were often marked with milestones. The concept of a mile was familiar to the Jewish people living under Roman rule, as Roman infrastructure and legal systems influenced daily life.
