Strong's Lexicon euruchóros: Broad, spacious Original Word: εὐρύχωρος Word Origin: From εὐρύς (eurus, meaning "broad" or "wide") and χώρα (chora, meaning "space" or "place") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "euruchóros," the concept of a broad or spacious way can be related to Hebrew words like רָחָב (rachab, Strong's H7342), which means "broad" or "wide." Usage: The Greek word "εὐρύχωρος" (euruchóros) is used to describe something that is broad or spacious. In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of a wide or expansive area, which can be both literal and metaphorical. It is used to describe paths, roads, or ways that are broad and easy to travel, often in contrast to narrow or difficult paths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a "broad" or "spacious" way was often associated with ease and comfort, as wider roads were easier to travel and navigate. This imagery is used in the New Testament to contrast the broad way that leads to destruction with the narrow way that leads to life, reflecting a common theme in Jewish wisdom literature that emphasizes the difficulty and discipline required to follow the path of righteousness.
