Strong's Lexicon ekkleió: To shut out, exclude Original Word: ἐκκλείω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "κλείω" (kleió, meaning "to shut" or "to close"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ekkleió," the concept of exclusion can be related to terms like "גָּרַשׁ" (garash, Strong's Hebrew 1644), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Usage: The verb "ekkleió" is used in the New Testament to convey the action of shutting out or excluding someone or something. It implies a deliberate act of preventing entry or participation. This term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are barred from certain privileges or associations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social and religious boundaries were significant, and exclusion from certain groups or activities could have profound implications. The concept of being "shut out" was not only physical but also social and spiritual. In Jewish culture, exclusion from the synagogue or community was a severe form of punishment, reflecting one's standing before God and society.
