Strong's Lexicon Kilyon: Kilyon Original Word: כִּלְיוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלָה (kalah), meaning "to be complete, at an end, finished, or spent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Kilyon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the themes of loss and redemption in the Book of Ruth can be related to Greek terms such as λύτρωσις (lutrosis, G3085), meaning "redemption." Usage: Kilyon is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is often understood to mean "wasting" or "pining," reflecting a sense of frailty or decline. The name is associated with one of the sons of Elimelech and Naomi, who lived during the time of the judges. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Book of Ruth, Kilyon, along with his brother Mahlon, represents the struggles and hardships faced by the family of Elimelech during a time of famine in Bethlehem. The family relocates to Moab, where Kilyon marries a Moabite woman named Orpah. The narrative highlights the challenges of intermarriage and the vulnerability of Israelite families living outside their homeland. The deaths of Kilyon and his brother without leaving heirs underscore the themes of loss and redemption that are central to the Book of Ruth.
