In biblical times, this role was crucial for maintaining security and controlling access to a household or a city. The doorkeeper was responsible for opening and closing the door, allowing entry to those who were authorized and keeping out those who were not.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, the role of a doorkeeper was significant, especially in larger households or city gates. Doorkeepers were often trusted servants or officials who ensured the safety and order of the premises. They were the first line of defense against intruders and played a vital role in the daily operations of a household or community. In a spiritual sense, the role of a doorkeeper can symbolize vigilance and readiness, themes that are echoed in various biblical teachings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2374.htm">thura</a> and ouros (a guardian)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a doorkeeper<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>doorkeeper (3), kept the door (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 2377: θυρωρός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">θυρωρός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">θυρωρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">θύρα</span>, and <span class="greek2">ὥρα</span> care;
