It is used in the New Testament to describe the physical location where water and land converge, often in the context of Jesus' ministry or the travels of the apostles.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, the shoreline was a significant geographical feature. It was a place of commerce, travel, and daily life. Fishing, a common occupation in biblical times, was often conducted from the shore. The shoreline also served as a boundary and a place of transition, both physically and metaphorically, in biblical narratives.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from aix (a wave)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the seashore<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beach (6).<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 123: αἰγιαλός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αἰγιαλός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(οῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">the shore of the sea, beach, </span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down): <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-2.htm">Matthew 13:2, 48</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/21-4.htm">John 21:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-5.htm">Acts 21:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-39.htm">Acts 27:39, 40</a>.
