Strong's Lexicon aulizomai: To lodge, to spend the night Original Word: αὐλίζομαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: aulizomai Pronunciation: ow-LEE-zom-ahee Phonetic Spelling: (ow-lid'-zom-ahee) Definition: I lodge in the open, lodge, pass the night. Meaning: To lodge, to pass the night, to stay overnight. Word Origin: Derived from αὐλή (aulē), meaning "courtyard" or "sheepfold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of lodging or staying overnight is paralleled in the Hebrew Scriptures by terms such as לִין (lin, Strong's Hebrew 3885), which also conveys the idea of spending the night or dwelling temporarily. This Hebrew term is used in various Old Testament passages to describe similar actions of lodging or residing temporarily. Usage: The verb αὐλίζομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of lodging or staying overnight, often in a temporary or makeshift setting. It conveys the idea of finding a place to rest or reside for the night. Context: The Greek verb αὐλίζομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or groups are described as staying overnight in a particular location. This term is often associated with itinerant lifestyles, such as those of travelers, shepherds, or Jesus and His disciples during their ministry. In the Berean Standard Bible, αὐλίζομαι is used in passages that highlight the transient nature of certain biblical figures' journeys. For example, in Matthew 21:17, it is recorded, "And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night." Here, αὐλίζομαι underscores Jesus' practice of lodging outside the city during His visits to Jerusalem. The use of αὐλίζομαι can also reflect the cultural and historical context of the ancient Near East, where hospitality and the provision of lodging were significant social customs. The act of lodging, as described by αὐλίζομαι, often involved staying in open courtyards, fields, or other available spaces, highlighting the simplicity and humility of those who traveled without permanent homes. The verb is also found in Mark 11:19, where it is noted, "And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city." This usage again emphasizes the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry and His reliance on temporary lodging during His travels.
