Strong's Lexicon kulió: To roll, to roll away Original Word: κυλίω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: kulió Pronunciation: koo-lee'-o Phonetic Spelling: (koo-lee-o'-o) Definition: To roll, to roll away Meaning: I roll, roll along, wallow. Word Origin: From a primary word κύλος (kylos), meaning "a circle" or "a roll." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kulió," the concept of rolling or moving stones can be related to Hebrew words like "גָּלַל" (galal), which means to roll or roll away. Usage: The verb "kulió" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of rolling or moving something in a circular motion. It often refers to the physical act of rolling away a stone or object. This term is used in contexts that involve significant events, such as the resurrection of Jesus, where a stone is rolled away from the tomb. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman world, tombs were often sealed with large stones to protect the body from animals and grave robbers. The act of rolling away a stone was a significant physical task, often requiring multiple people due to the stone's size and weight. The rolling away of the stone from Jesus' tomb is a pivotal moment in the Christian narrative, symbolizing the opening of the grave and the victory over death.
