Berean Strong's Lexicon apokulió: To roll away Original Word: ἀποκυλίω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and κυλίω (kulió, meaning "to roll"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποκυλίω, the concept of rolling away stones can be related to Hebrew verbs like גָּלַל (galal), which means "to roll" or "to roll away." Usage: The verb ἀποκυλίω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of rolling away a stone. It conveys the physical act of moving a large, round object from its place, often used in the context of removing a barrier or obstacle. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, tombs were often sealed with large stones to protect the body from animals and grave robbers. These stones were typically round and set in a groove, allowing them to be rolled into place. The act of rolling away such a stone would require significant effort, often involving multiple people. This cultural practice is reflected in the New Testament accounts of Jesus' resurrection, where the stone covering His tomb was rolled away.
