Strong's Lexicon
periblepó: To look around, to look about

Original Word: περιβλέπω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: periblepó
Pronunciation: pe-ree-BLEH-po
Phonetic Spelling: (per-ee-blep'-o)
Definition: To look around, to look about
Meaning: I look around on, survey.

Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (peri, meaning "around") and βλέπω (blepó, meaning "to look" or "to see").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "periblepó," the concept of looking or seeing is often expressed in Hebrew by the verb רָאָה (ra'ah), Strong's Hebrew #7200.

Usage: The verb "periblepó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of looking around or surveying one's surroundings. It often conveys a sense of careful observation or consideration, sometimes with an emotional undertone such as anger, compassion, or concern.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, sight and observation were important aspects of understanding and interacting with one's environment. The act of looking around could imply a search for understanding or a moment of reflection. In the context of the New Testament, "periblepó" is often used to describe Jesus' actions, highlighting His awareness and intentionality in His interactions with people.

HELPS Word-studies

4017 periblépō (from 4012 /perí, "all-around" and 991 /blépō, "look at, gaze on") – properly, gaze all-around; closely observe with a sweeping (encompassing) look and with high personal involvement (self-interest).

[This explains why 4017 (periblépō) is always in the Greek middle voice which accents the personal concern – like the movement of the eyes expressed with the looking (R, 813).]
