Strong's Lexicon oikétérion: Dwelling, habitation Original Word: οἰκητήριον Word Origin: Derived from οἰκέω (oikeō), meaning "to inhabit" or "to dwell." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "oikétérion," the concept of a dwelling or habitation can be related to Hebrew words such as מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan, Strong's H4908) meaning "tabernacle" or "dwelling place." Usage: The term "oikétérion" refers to a dwelling place or habitation. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a spiritual or heavenly dwelling, particularly in the context of the believer's future glorified body or the abode of spiritual beings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of a dwelling place was significant, as it represented not only a physical structure but also a place of belonging and identity. In the biblical context, the idea of a dwelling extends beyond the physical to encompass spiritual realities. The New Testament often contrasts earthly dwellings with heavenly ones, emphasizing the transient nature of the former and the eternal nature of the latter.
