Berean Strong's Lexicon kullos: Crippled, lame, deformed Original Word: κυλλός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word "κυλλός," which means "crooked" or "bent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kullos," similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like "פסח" (pesach), meaning "lame" or "limping," as seen in passages like 2 Samuel 9:13. Usage: The term "kullos" is used in the New Testament to describe a physical condition of being crippled or having a limb that is deformed or bent. It often refers to individuals who are unable to walk properly due to a physical deformity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, physical deformities were often seen as a sign of divine displeasure or as a result of sin. People with such conditions were frequently marginalized and faced social stigma. In Jewish culture, physical wholeness was associated with ritual purity, and those with deformities were sometimes excluded from certain religious practices. However, the ministry of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospels, often highlighted His compassion and healing power towards those who were physically afflicted, challenging societal norms and demonstrating the inclusive nature of God's kingdom.
