Sounds Like: THEH-lis
Translations: unknown
From the root: ΘΕΛΙΣ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: It's not clear what this word means. It appears to be a fragment or a misspelling. Given the context provided, it is highly probable that 'ΘΕΛΙΣ' is part of a proper noun, specifically 'ΒΗΘΕΛΙΣΟΥΒ' (BETHELISOUB). This longer form, 'Βηθελισούβ', is likely a transliteration of a Hebrew name or place, possibly related to 'Beth-el' (House of God) or a similar construction, but 'ΘΕΛΙΣ' by itself does not form a recognizable word in Koine Greek. It could be a scribal error or an incomplete transcription of the full name.
