Strong's Lexicon sugkleió: To shut up, enclose, confine Original Word: συγκλείω Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and κλείω (kleió, "to shut") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of confinement or enclosure can be related to Hebrew words such as סָגַר (sagar, Strong's H5462), which means to shut, close, or confine. Usage: The verb "sugkleió" is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of enclosing or confining something or someone. It often implies a sense of being shut in or restricted, either physically or metaphorically. This term can be used to describe the act of confining people or things within a boundary or limit. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of confinement or enclosure was familiar in various contexts, such as imprisonment, the closing of city gates, or the sealing of documents. The metaphorical use of "sugkleió" in the New Testament reflects a theological understanding of being confined under sin or law, highlighting the need for divine intervention and redemption.
