Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of closing or shutting is Strong's Greek Number G2808, κλείω (kleió), which means to shut, close, or lock. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe actions such as closing doors or sealing spaces, often with theological implications of access or restriction, similar to the Hebrew concept of גּוּף (guph). Usage: The term גּוּף (guph) is used in the context of creating a hollow or arch, often implying the action of closing or shutting something. It is a verb that conveys the idea of forming a space or enclosure by curving or bending. Context: The Hebrew root גּוּף (guph) is not frequently encountered in the biblical text, but its conceptual significance is notable in the context of creating spaces or enclosures. The action of hollowing or arching is often associated with the construction of physical structures or the natural formation of spaces. This root can be linked to the idea of protection or separation, as the act of closing or shutting can denote the creation of a boundary or barrier. In biblical literature, such actions are often symbolic of divine protection or judgment, where God may close or open spaces as a sign of His will or intervention.
