It conveys the idea of being encompassed or enveloped by something, whether physically or metaphorically. This term can be used to describe physical objects that are surrounded or to illustrate spiritual or emotional states.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being surrounded or encircled was often associated with protection, confinement, or completeness. The imagery of being encircled could evoke thoughts of a city surrounded by walls, a garment wrapped around a person, or even a crown encircling a head. In the biblical context, this term can also carry spiritual connotations, such as being surrounded by witnesses or encompassed by divine presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/2749.htm">keimai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lie around<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beset (1), hung (2), surrounding (1), wearing (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 4029: περίκειμαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περίκειμαι</span></span>; (<span class="greek2">περί</span> and <span class="greek2">κεῖμαι</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to lie around</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">περί</span></span>, III. 1): <span class="greek2">περί</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 52, 4, 12) <span class="greek2">τί</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
