In the New Testament, it is used to describe a physical location that is dangerous due to its height and steepness. The imagery of a cliff often conveys a sense of peril or the potential for a fall.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, cliffs and precipices were common geographical features. They were often seen as places of danger but also as natural fortifications. In biblical times, cliffs could serve as strategic military positions or as places of refuge. The imagery of a cliff in Scripture can symbolize both physical danger and spiritual peril.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2910.htm">kremannumi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a steep bank<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>steep bank (3).<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 2911: κρημνός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κρημνός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κρημνοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from <span class="greek2">κρεμάννυμι</span>), <span class="accented">a steep (place), a precipice</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-32.htm">Matthew 8:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-13.htm">Mark 5:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-33.htm">Luke 8:33</a>.
