The Greek word "περιέχω" (periechō) has a simple yet powerful meaning: it means to contain or encompass something. According to the available data, it is used only twice in the Bible. This scarce usage suggests that the concept conveyed by this word is quite specific and limited in scope. Given its short definition, we can infer that "periechō" often refers to a physical or spatial relationship, where something is being enclosed or held within a larger space. The context in which this word is used will be crucial in determining its precise range of usage. Without more information about the specific instances of this word's usage, it's difficult to assign greater significance to "περιέχω" beyond its basic definition. More analysis of the two occurrences in the Bible is needed to gain a deeper understanding of its role in the original text.
