It conveys the idea of a prominent or elevated position, typically associated with a structure or building.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "pterugion" is most notably used to describe a part of the temple in Jerusalem. The temple was a central place of worship and a significant symbol of Jewish faith and identity. The "pinnacle" of the temple would have been a high and visible point, possibly referring to the southeastern corner of the temple complex, which overlooked the Kidron Valley. This location would have been a place of both physical and symbolic prominence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>dim. of <a href="/greek/4420.htm">pterux</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a little wing, hence (anything like a wing) a battlement<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pinnacle (2).<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 4419: πτερύγιον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πτερύγιον</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πτερυγίου</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (diminutive of <span class="greek2">πτέρυξ</span>, which see), the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">כָּנָף</span>;
