It is often used to describe the tip or top of an object, such as a mountain, tree, or even a garment. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the extremities or outermost parts of a region or object.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "akron" was significant in various contexts, including geography, architecture, and daily life. The term could refer to the highest point of a city, such as the acropolis, or the extremities of a garment, which held symbolic meaning in terms of purity and completeness. Understanding "akron" in its cultural context helps illuminate its metaphorical uses in the New Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from akros; from the same as <a href="/greek/173.htm">akantha</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>highest, extreme<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>end (1), farthest end (2), other (1), tip (1), top (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 206: ἄκρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄκρος</span></span>, , (<span class="greek2">ἀκή</span> point (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀκμή</span></span>)) (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">highest, extreme</span>; <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἄκρον</span> <span class="accented">the topmost point, the extremity</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 94 (82)): <a href="/interlinear/luke/16-24.htm">Luke 16:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/11-21.htm">Hebrews 11:21</a> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">προσκυνέω</span></span>, a. at the end); <span class="greek2">ἄκρα</span>, <span class="greek2">ἄκρον</span> <span class="greek2">γῆς</span>, <span class="greek2">οὐρανοῦ</span>, the farthest bounds, uttermost parts, end, of the earth, of heaven: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/24-31.htm">Matthew 24:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/13-27.htm">Mark 13:27</a>; cf. <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/4-32.htm">Deuteronomy 4:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/28-64.htm">Deuteronomy 28:64</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/13-5.htm">Isaiah 13:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/12-12.htm">Jeremiah 12:12</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>tip, top, highest point <p>Neuter of an adjective probably akin to the base of <a href="/greek/188.htm">akmen</a>; the extremity -- one end...
