Strong's Lexicon katamonas: Dwelling place, abode Original Word: καταμονάς Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: katamonas Pronunciation: kah-tah-mo-NAHS Phonetic Spelling: (kat-am-on'-as) Definition: along, apart, in private. Meaning: The term καταμονάς refers to a place of dwelling or habitation, often implying a sense of permanence or stability. It can denote a physical abode or a metaphorical place of rest. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "κατά" (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the noun "μονή" (monē, meaning "abode" or "dwelling"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταμονάς, related concepts can be found in terms such as: - מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, Strong's Hebrew 4908): Referring to the tabernacle or dwelling place of God among His people. - מָעוֹן (ma'on, Strong's Hebrew 4583): Meaning habitation or dwelling, often used in the context of God's heavenly abode. These Hebrew terms, like their Greek counterparts, emphasize the theme of God's presence and the believer's place of rest and security in Him. Usage: The word καταμονάς is not directly found in the canonical texts of the New Testament. It is a compound form that might be used in extra-biblical Greek literature to describe a dwelling place or a place of residence. Context: The concept of dwelling or abiding is significant in biblical theology, often symbolizing God's presence with His people or the believer's spiritual rest in God. While καταμονάς itself does not appear in the New Testament, its components and related terms are prevalent. The noun "μονή" appears in John 14:2, where Jesus speaks of the many "rooms" or "dwelling places" in His Father's house, indicating a place prepared for believers in the eternal presence of God. The preposition "κατά" is frequently used in the New Testament to denote direction or intensity, often in the context of God's actions or human responses. In a broader theological context, the idea of a dwelling place is central to the understanding of God's covenant relationship with His people. In the Old Testament, the tabernacle and later the temple served as physical manifestations of God's dwelling among the Israelites. In the New Testament, this concept is expanded to include the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within believers, making their bodies temples of God (1 Corinthians 6:19).
