Strong's Lexicon akron: extremity, top, tip, end Original Word: ἄκρον Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: akron Pronunciation: AH-kron Phonetic Spelling: (ak'-ron) Definition: the end, extremity. Meaning: The term ἄκρον refers to the extremity or highest point of an object. It can denote the top, tip, or end of something, often used in a literal or metaphorical sense. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ἄκρος (akros), meaning "topmost" or "extreme." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek term ἄκρον corresponds to several Hebrew words that convey similar meanings of extremity or utmost parts. These include: • Strong's Hebrew 7093 (קָצֶה, qāṣeh): Meaning "end" or "extremity," often used to describe the ends of the earth or the outermost parts of a region. • Strong's Hebrew 7218 (רֹאשׁ, rosh): Meaning "head" or "top," used to denote the highest point or chief part of an object or structure. These Hebrew terms, like ἄκρον, emphasize the concept of reaching the utmost or highest point, whether in a physical, geographical, or metaphorical sense. Usage: In the New Testament, ἄκρον is used to describe the pinnacle or highest point of a structure or object. It can also refer to the extremities of the earth or the utmost parts of a region. Context: The Greek word ἄκρον appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the extremity or utmost part of an object or location. It is used to describe the pinnacle of the temple in the account of Jesus' temptation by Satan, where He is taken to the highest point of the temple (Matthew 4:5, Luke 4:9). This usage underscores the physical height and symbolic significance of the location as a place of testing and revelation. The term also appears in metaphorical contexts, such as in the description of the ends of the earth, highlighting the vastness and reach of God's creation and dominion. The use of ἄκρον in these passages often conveys a sense of completeness or totality, as it encompasses the furthest or most extreme parts. In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation of ἄκρον maintains the emphasis on the extremity or pinnacle, providing clarity and consistency in understanding the term's significance within the biblical narrative.
