Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G3725, ὁρίον (horion), which also refers to a boundary or region. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe geographical areas, similar to the Hebrew concept of a "circuit" or "region." The connection between גְלִילָה and ὁρίον highlights the continuity in the biblical narrative regarding the significance of land and territorial boundaries.

Usage: The word is used in the context of describing a specific area or region, often with a focus on its boundaries or the concept of encircling.

Context: • The Hebrew term גְלִילָה (gelilah) is used to denote a circuit or region, often implying a defined geographical area. This term is found in the context of describing territories or districts within the biblical narrative. The concept of a "circuit" suggests a boundary or a perimeter that encircles a particular area, highlighting its distinctiveness or separateness from surrounding regions.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to describe regions that are significant within the historical and theological narrative of the Scriptures. For example, the term may be used to refer to the region of Galilee, a significant area in the New Testament narrative, though the specific Hebrew term גְלִילָה is more commonly associated with Old Testament contexts.
• The usage of גְלִילָה in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of understanding the geographical and cultural context of biblical events. It reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of land and territory, where regions were often defined by natural boundaries or historical significance.
