Strong's Lexicon membrana: Parchment Original Word: μεμβράνα Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: membrana Pronunciation: mem-BRAH-nah Phonetic Spelling: (mem-bran'-ah) Definition: a parchment leaf, perhaps for notes. Meaning: A parchment or writing material made from animal skins, used in ancient times for writing documents, letters, and scriptures. Word Origin: Derived from Latin "membrana," meaning "parchment." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μεμβράνα in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of parchment is more closely associated with Greek and Roman practices. However, the Hebrew term for scroll or book, "סֵפֶר" (sefer, Strong's Hebrew 5612), can be related in the broader context of written documents and scriptures. Usage: The term μεμβράνα appears in the New Testament in the context of writing materials, specifically referring to parchments that were used for recording important texts. Context: The Greek term μεμβράνα is found in the New Testament in 2 Timothy 4:13, where the Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy, requests, "When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments." In this passage, "parchments" is translated from μεμβράνα, indicating the importance of these documents to Paul. Parchments were a valuable resource in the ancient world, often used for preserving significant writings, including portions of the Scriptures. The use of μεμβράνα highlights the early Christian emphasis on the written word and the preservation of apostolic teachings. The request for these parchments suggests that Paul valued these documents for their content, possibly containing copies of Old Testament scriptures or other important writings.
