Strong's Lexicon hémiórion: Half a region, district, or boundary Original Word: ἡμιόριον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix ἡμι- (hēmi-), meaning "half," and ὅριον (horion), meaning "boundary" or "region." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hémiórion" in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of land division in Hebrew texts is often expressed through different terms and contexts, such as "חֵלֶק" (cheleq, Strong's H2506) meaning "portion" or "inheritance." Usage: The term "hémiórion" is used to denote a division or a part of a larger area, specifically referring to a half or a portion of a region. It is a term that would have been used in geographical or territorial contexts to describe subdivisions of land. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, land and territorial boundaries were significant for defining city-states, regions, and ownership. The concept of dividing land into portions was common for administrative, military, and economic purposes. The use of "hémiórion" reflects the importance of land division in managing resources and governance in the ancient world.
