It often refers to the physical act of rolling away a stone or object. This term is used in contexts that involve significant events, such as the resurrection of Jesus, where a stone is rolled away from the tomb.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman world, tombs were often sealed with large stones to protect the body from animals and grave robbers. The act of rolling away a stone was a significant physical task, often requiring multiple people due to the stone's size and weight. The rolling away of the stone from Jesus' tomb is a pivotal moment in the Christian narrative, symbolizing the opening of the grave and the victory over death.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a late form of kulindó (to roll, roll along)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to roll<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rolling around (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 2947: κυλίω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κυλίω</span></span>: (for <span class="greek2">κυλινδω</span> more common in earlier writings), <span class="accented">to roll</span>; passive imperfect 3 person singular <span class="greek2">ἐκυλίετο</span>; <span class="accented">to be rolled, to wallow</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/9-20.htm">Mark 9:20</a>.
