Strong's Lexicon proskulió: To roll toward, to roll against Original Word: προσκῡλίω Word Origin: From πρός (pros, meaning "toward" or "to") and κυλίω (kulió, meaning "to roll" or "to roll away") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "proskulió," the concept of sealing or closing a tomb can be related to Hebrew terms like "גָּלַל" (galal), meaning "to roll" or "to roll away," as seen in contexts like Genesis 29:3, where a stone is rolled away from a well. Usage: The verb "proskulió" is used in the context of rolling something toward or against an object. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the action of rolling a stone against the entrance of a tomb. This term conveys a sense of closure or sealing, often associated with burial practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish burial customs, tombs were often sealed with large stones to protect the body from animals and grave robbers. The act of rolling a stone against the entrance of a tomb was a significant action, symbolizing the finality of death and the sealing of the grave. This practice was common in the first-century Jewish context and is reflected in the Gospel narratives.
