Strong's Lexicon chórion: Place, piece of land, field, property Original Word: χωρίον Word Origin: Diminutive of χῶρος (chóros), meaning "place" or "space" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7704 (שָׂדֶה, sadeh): Field, land - H2513 (חֶלְקָה, chelqah): Portion, tract, parcel (of land) Usage: The term "chórion" refers to a specific piece of land or property. It is often used in the New Testament to denote a field or a plot of land, typically in the context of ownership or sale. The diminutive form suggests a smaller or more specific area within a larger context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Greco-Roman world, land ownership was a significant aspect of wealth and social status. Land was often passed down through generations and was a primary source of livelihood, especially in agrarian societies. The sale or purchase of land was a major transaction, often involving legal and social implications. In Jewish culture, land held covenantal significance, as it was tied to the promises given to Abraham and his descendants.
