Difference between revisions of "Roll"

<div> '''A — 1: ἀποκυλίω ''' (Strong'S #617 — Verb — apokulio | apokulizo — ap-ok-oo-lee'-o ) </div> <p> "to roll away" (apo, "from," kulio, "to roll;" cp. Eng., "cylinder," etc.), is used of the sepulchre stone, &nbsp;Matthew 28:2; &nbsp;Mark 16:3 (ver. 4 in some mss.; see No. 2); &nbsp; Luke 24:2 . In the Sept., &nbsp;Genesis 29:3,8,10 . </p> <div> '''A — 2: ἀνά ''' (Strong'S #303 2947 — Preposition — anakulio — an-ah' ) </div> <p> "to roll up or back" (ana), is found in the best texts, in &nbsp;Mark 16:4 (see No. 1). </p> <div> '''A — 3: προσκυλίω ''' (Strong'S #4351 — Verb — proskulio — pros-koo-lee'-o ) </div> <p> "to roll up or to" (pros), is used in &nbsp;Matthew 27:60; &nbsp;Mark 15:46 , of the sepulchre stone. </p> <div> '''A — 4: εἱλίσσω ''' (Strong'S #1507 — Verb — heilisso | helisso — hi-lis'-so ) </div> <p> "to roll," or "roll up," is used (a) of the "rolling" up of a mantle, illustratively of the heavens, &nbsp;Hebrews 1:12 , RV; (b) of the "rolling" up of a scroll, &nbsp;Revelation 6:14 , illustratively of the removing of the heaven. </p> <div> '''A — 5: ἐντυλίσσω ''' (Strong'S #1794 — Verb — entulisso — en-too-lis'-so ) </div> <p> "to wrap up, roll round or about," is translated "rolled up" in &nbsp;John 20:7 , RV, of the cloth or "napkin" that had been wrapped around the head of the Lord before burial. Both the RV and the AV, "wrapped together," might suggest that this cloth had been "rolled" or wrapped up and put in a certain part of the tomb at the Lord's resurrection, whereas, as with the body wrappings, the head cloth was lying as it had been "rolled" round His head, an evidence, to those who looked into the tomb, of the fact of His resurrection without any disturbance of the wrappings either by friend or foe or when the change took place. It is followed by en, "in," and translated "wrapped" in &nbsp;Matthew 27:59 , a meaning and construction which Moulton and Milligan illustrate from the papyri; in &nbsp;Luke 23:53 it is followed by the dative of the noun sindon, "linen cloth," used instrumentally. See Wrap. </p> <div> '''B — 1: κεφαλίς ''' (Strong'S #2777 — Noun [[Feminine]] — kephalis — kef-al-is' ) </div> <p> lit., "a little head" (a diminutive of kephale, "a head;" Lat., capitulum, a diminutive of caput), hence, "a capital of a column," then, "a roll" (of a book), occurs in &nbsp;Hebrews 10:7 , RV, "in the roll" (AV, "in the volume"), lit., "in the heading of the scroll" (from &nbsp;Psalm 40:7 ). </p>

<p> [[Ancient]] writings were rolled round a cylinder or stick. [[Volume]] means so (&nbsp;Jeremiah 36:2; &nbsp;Psalms 40:7; compare &nbsp;Deuteronomy 31:26; &nbsp;Ezekiel 2:9-10, where the writing "within and without" was contrary to the usage of writing only on one side, implying the fullness of the prophecy of woe. The writing was in columns (delathot ), literally, doors, on parchment or prepared skins. </p>

<p> (מְגַלָּה, ''Megillah'' '; Sept. κεφαλίς : but in &nbsp;Ezra 6:1, the Chald. סְפִר, ''Sephdr'' , a [[Book]] , as elsewhere rendered: in &nbsp;Isaiah 8:1; גַּלָּיוֹן, ''Gillayon'' , a [[Tablet]] , once of a mirror, &nbsp;Isaiah 3:23). A book in ancient times consisted of a single long strip of paper or parchment, which was usually kept rolled up on a stick, and was unrolled when a person wished to read it. (See Book). Hence arose the term ''Megillah'' , from [[Galal]] , ''"'' to roll," strictly answering to the Latin ''Volumen'' , whence comes our [[Volume]] ; hence also the expressions, "to spread" and "roll together" (in Heb. פָּרֵשׂ [&nbsp;2 Kings 19:14] and גָּלִל [&nbsp;Isaiah 34:4]: in Gr. ἀναπτύσσειν and πτύσσειν [&nbsp;Luke 4:17; &nbsp;Luke 4:20]), instead of "to open" and "to shut" a book. The full expression for a book was "a roll of writing, " or "a roll of a book" (&nbsp;Jeremiah 36:2; &nbsp;Psalms 40:7; &nbsp;Ezekiel 2:9), but occasionally "roll" stands by itself (&nbsp;Zechariah 5:1-2; &nbsp;Ezra 6:2). The κεφαλίς of the Sept. originally referred to the ornamental knob (the ''Umbilicus'' of the Latins) at the top of the stick or cylinder round which the roll was wound. The use of the term ''Megillah'' implies, of course, the existence of a soft and pliant material: what this material was in the Old Test. period we are not informed; but, as a knife was required for its destruction (&nbsp;Jeremiah 36:23), we infer that it was parchment. The roll was usually written on one side only (Mishna, ''Erub.'' 10, § 3), and hence the particular notice of one that was "written within and without" (&nbsp;Ezekiel 2:10). The writing was arranged in columns, resembling a door in shape, and hence deriving their [[Hebrew]] name (דְּלָתוֹת, [[Leaves]] ), just as "column, " from its resemblance to a ''Columna'' , or pillar. It has been asserted that the term megillah does not occur before the 7th century B.C., being first used by Jeremiah (Hitzig, in &nbsp;Jeremiah 36:2); and the conclusion has been drawn that the use of such materials as parchment was not known until that period (Ewald, Gesch. 1, 71, note; Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 289). This is to assume, perhaps too confidently, a late date for the composition of Psalms 40, and to ignore the collateral evidence arising out of the expression "roll together" used by Isaiah (&nbsp;Isaiah 34:4), and also out of the probable reference to the [[Pentateuch]] in &nbsp;Psalms 40:7, "the roll of the book, " a copy of which was deposited by the side of the ark (&nbsp;Deuteronomy 31:26). The book of Esther is specially designated by the Hebrew term Megillah. (See Megalloth). </p>
