In the New Testament, it is frequently associated with the sick or infirm, who were often carried on such beds. It can also denote a dining couch, reflecting the Greco-Roman custom of reclining while eating.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, beds were simple and portable, often consisting of a mat or a low platform. They were used not only for sleeping but also for dining and socializing. The act of reclining on a kline during meals was a common practice, especially in more affluent households. This cultural context is reflected in the New Testament, where reclining at meals is mentioned in several passages.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2825: κλίνη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κλίνη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κλίνης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">κλίνω</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">מִטָּה</span>, also for <span class="hebrew">עֶרֶשׁ</span>; <span class="accented">a bed</span>: universally, <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-30.htm">Mark 7:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-34.htm">Luke 17:34</a>; a couch to recline on at meals, <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-21.htm">Mark 4:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-4.htm">Mark 7:4</a> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> omit); <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-16.htm">Luke 8:16</a>; a couch on which a sick man is carried, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/9-2.htm">Matthew 9:2, 6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/5-18.htm">Luke 5:18</a>; plural <a href="/interlinear/acts/5-15.htm">Acts 5:15</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <span class="greek2">βάλλειν</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">κλίνην</span>, to cast into a bed, i. e. to afflict with disease, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/2-22.htm">Revelation 2:22</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>bed, table. <p>From <a href="/greek/2827.htm">klino</a>; a couch (for sleep, sickness, sitting or eating) -- bed, table. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2827.htm">klino</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>κλίναι κλίνη κλινην κλίνην κλινης κλίνης κλινων κλινών κλινῶν klinen klinēn klínen klínēn klines klinēs klínes klínēs klinon klinôn klinōn klinō̂n<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/9-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 9:2</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
