However, the Hebrew Bible refers to the descendants of Javan (יָוָן, Yavan), who are traditionally associated with the Greeks (Genesis 10:2).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the New Testament, "Hellas" refers to the geographical region known as Greece. It is used to denote the area inhabited by the Greeks, a significant cultural and political region during the time of the early church. The term is used to describe the broader Greek world, which was influential in the spread of Hellenistic culture and thought.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Greece, or Hellas, was a major center of culture, philosophy, and learning in the ancient world. By the time of the New Testament, Greece had been incorporated into the Roman Empire but retained its cultural significance. The Greek language and Hellenistic culture were widespread, influencing the regions around the Mediterranean. This cultural backdrop provided a fertile ground for the spread of the Gospel, as Greek was a common lingua franca of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Hellas, i.e. Greece, a country of Europe<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Greece (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 1671: ἑλλάς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἑλλάς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Ἑλλάδος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, <span class="accented">Greece</span> i. e.
