Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word דּוּר (dur) in the Strong's Concordance. However, Greek words that convey similar meanings of circularity or roundness include κύκλος (kuklos • Strong's Greek 2945), which means "circle" or "ring," and σφαῖρα (sphaira • not in Strong's), meaning "sphere" or "ball." These terms capture the essence of circularity found in the Hebrew דּוּר. Usage: The word דּוּר is used in the context of describing objects that are circular or spherical. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it typically refers to physical shapes or formations. Context: The Hebrew word דּוּר (dur) is a primitive root that signifies a circular or round shape. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a circle or sphere was often associated with completeness, continuity, and eternity. The word is used in various contexts to describe objects that are round or piled up in a circular manner.
