Strong's Lexicon huperóon: Upper room, upstairs room Original Word: ὑπερῷον Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: huperóon Pronunciation: hoo-per-OH-on Phonetic Spelling: (hoop-er-o'-on) Definition: Upper room, upstairs room Meaning: an upper room, the upper part of a house. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "above" or "over") and the noun ὠν (ōn, a form of "ear" or "hearing"), though in this context, it refers to a space above. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperóon," the concept of an upper room can be related to the Hebrew term "עֲלִיָּה" (aliyah, Strong's Hebrew 5944), which also refers to an upper chamber or loft. Usage: The term "huperóon" refers to an upper room or an upstairs chamber in a house. In the New Testament, it is often associated with a place of gathering, prayer, and significant events in the early Christian community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman architecture, houses often had an upper room or a second account that was used for various purposes, including storage, living space, or gatherings. These rooms were typically accessed by an external staircase and provided a private and secluded area for meetings. In the context of the New Testament, the upper room holds particular significance as a place of fellowship and divine encounter.
