Strong's Lexicon egkatoikeó: To dwell in, to inhabit Original Word: ἐγκατοικέω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: egkatoikeó Pronunciation: eng-ka-toy-KEH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (eng-kat-oy-keh'-o) Definition: I dwell in, among. Meaning: To dwell in, to inhabit, to reside within a place or among a group. Word Origin: Derived from ἐν (en, "in") and κατοικέω (katoikeō, "to dwell" or "to inhabit"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐγκατοικέω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to dwelling or inhabiting, such as: • יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's Hebrew 3427): To sit, remain, dwell. • שָׁכַן (shakan, Strong's Hebrew 7931): To settle down, abide, dwell, tabernacle. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of residing or dwelling, both in a physical and spiritual sense, and are often used in the Old Testament to describe God's presence among His people and the Israelites' settlement in the Promised Land. Usage: The term ἐγκατοικέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of dwelling or residing within a specific location or among a particular group of people. It conveys a sense of permanence or established presence. Context: The Greek verb ἐγκατοικέω appears in the New Testament to express the concept of dwelling or residing within a particular place or community. This term emphasizes a settled or established presence, often implying a sense of belonging or integration within the environment or group. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐγκατοικέω is used in contexts that highlight the importance of community and the presence of individuals or groups within a specific locale. The term can be understood both in a literal sense, referring to physical habitation, and in a metaphorical sense, indicating spiritual or communal residence. The use of ἐγκατοικέω in the New Testament underscores the significance of being part of a community, whether it be the early Christian church or a broader societal context. It reflects the theological theme of God's people dwelling together in unity and the presence of God among His people. The concept of dwelling is central to biblical theology, as it relates to God's covenantal promise to dwell among His people and the believers' call to live in harmony with one another. The term ἐγκατοικέω, therefore, not only describes physical residence but also conveys deeper spiritual and relational dimensions.
