Matthew 2:22


Footnote:

8d

Strong's #G1056, Γαλιλαία:

"Γαλιλαία, Γαλιλαίας, ἡ, Galilee (from the Hebrew הגלילה, 2 galil Kings 15:29; הגליל, Joshua 20:7; Joshua 21:32; גליל ארץ, 1 Kings 9:11, meaning "the circle" or "circuit"). This name designated a certain district of northern Palestine, even before the exile. The Septuagint renders it as Γαλιλαία."
