It can denote a room or chamber within a larger structure, emphasizing the concept of a place where one resides or takes shelter. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical spaces that serve specific purposes, often related to living or gathering.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "oikéma" would have been familiar as it relates to the architecture of homes and public buildings. Houses often contained multiple rooms or chambers, each serving different functions such as sleeping, dining, or storage. The idea of a dwelling place was central to both personal and communal life, reflecting one's social status and lifestyle.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3611.htm">oikeó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a dwelling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cell (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 3612: οἴκημα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">οἴκημα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀικηματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, from (<span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span> and) <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down, <span class="accented">a dwelling-place, habitation</span>; euphemistically <span class="accented">a prison</span> (<span class="abbreviation">R.
