Strong's Lexicon antipera: Opposite, over against, on the other side Original Word: ἀντίπερα Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀντί (anti, meaning "opposite" or "against") and πέρα (pera, meaning "beyond" or "across"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντίπερα, similar concepts of "opposite" or "across" can be found in Hebrew words like נֶגֶד (neged, Strong's H5048), which means "in front of" or "opposite." Usage: The Greek word ἀντίπερα is used to describe a location that is directly opposite or across from another point. It is often used in geographical contexts to indicate a place situated on the other side of a body of water or a boundary. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, geographical orientation was crucial for navigation and travel. The term ἀντίπερα would have been commonly understood in the context of seafaring and land travel, where knowing what lay "opposite" or "across" was essential for planning routes and understanding territorial boundaries. The use of such terms reflects the practical concerns of daily life in a world where travel was often challenging and required precise knowledge of the landscape.
