Strong's Lexicon Galilaia: Galilee Original Word: Γαλιλαία Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word גָּלִיל (Galil), meaning "circle" or "district." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1551 גָּלִיל (Galil): Refers to a district or region, often used in the Old Testament to describe the region of Galilee. Usage: Galilaia refers to the region of Galilee, a significant area in northern Israel during the time of Jesus. It is frequently mentioned in the New Testament as the setting for much of Jesus' ministry, including His teachings, miracles, and the calling of His disciples. Cultural and Historical Background: Galilee was a fertile and populous region known for its diverse population, including Jews and Gentiles. It was bordered by the Sea of Galilee to the east and was a center of agriculture and fishing. The region was under Roman rule during the time of Jesus, and its inhabitants were often looked down upon by those from Judea due to their distinct accent and customs. Despite this, Galilee played a crucial role in the life and ministry of Jesus, serving as the backdrop for many of His parables and miracles.
