Strong's Lexicon piphiyyoth: edges, borders, mouths Original Word: פִיפִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root פֶּה (peh), meaning "mouth" or "edge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "piphiyyoth," the concept of edges or borders can be related to Greek terms such as "περίμετρος" (perimetros) meaning "perimeter" or "border." Usage: The term "piphiyyoth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the edges or borders of something, often in a metaphorical sense. It can denote the outermost parts or extremities, similar to the "mouth" of a garment or the "edge" of a sword. The word is used to describe the outer boundaries or limits of an object or concept. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of edges or borders was significant, both in physical and metaphorical terms. The edges of garments, for example, were often adorned with tassels or fringes as a reminder of the commandments (Numbers 15:38-39). The idea of boundaries was also important in terms of land and property, as well as in the context of social and religious laws. The use of "piphiyyoth" reflects the importance of defining and respecting limits, whether they be physical, moral, or spiritual. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as peh, q.v.
