Strong's Lexicon oikia: House, household, dwelling Original Word: οἰκία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: oikia Pronunciation: oy-kee'-ah Phonetic Spelling: (oy-kee'-ah) Definition: a house, household, dwelling; meton: goods, property, means. Meaning: The term "οἰκία" refers to a house, dwelling, or household. It can denote a physical structure where people live or, by extension, the family or household residing within. Word Origin: Derived from οἶκος (oikos), meaning "house" or "home." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H1004 בַּיִת (bayith): This Hebrew term is often translated as "house" or "household" in the Old Testament, similar to the Greek "οἰκία." It encompasses both the physical dwelling and the family or community associated with it. • H4940 מִשְׁפָּחָה (mishpachah): While not a direct equivalent, this term refers to a family or clan, often used in contexts describing the broader household or familial groupings within Israel. These entries provide a comprehensive understanding of "οἰκία" within the biblical narrative, highlighting its significance in both physical and spiritual dimensions. Usage: The word "οἰκία" is used in the New Testament to describe both literal houses and metaphorical households. It appears in various contexts, including parables, teachings of Jesus, and descriptions of early Christian gatherings. Context: The Greek term "οἰκία" is frequently encountered in the New Testament, illustrating both the physical and social aspects of a dwelling. In the Gospels, Jesus often uses "οἰκία" in parables to convey spiritual truths. For instance, in Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus speaks of the wise man who built his house (οἰκία) on the rock, symbolizing a life founded on His teachings. This parable emphasizes the stability and security of a life grounded in obedience to Christ. In the context of early Christian communities, "οἰκία" also refers to the gathering places of believers. In Acts 2:46, the early Christians are described as breaking bread "from house to house" (κατ' οἶκον), indicating the use of private homes for worship and fellowship. This reflects the intimate and communal nature of early Christian worship, which often took place in domestic settings. The term further appears in discussions of hospitality and service. In Luke 10:5, Jesus instructs His disciples, "When you enter a house (οἰκία), first say, 'Peace to this house.'" This highlights the importance of peace and blessing in the Christian mission and the role of the household as a center for ministry and outreach. Overall, "οἰκία" encapsulates both the physical structure of a house and the relational dynamics of a household, serving as a significant motif in the teachings and practices of the New Testament.
