Translations: of a pit, of a cistern, of a well, of a ditch, of a hole

From the root: ΛΑΚΚΟΣ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This word refers to a pit, cistern, or well, often dug in the ground to collect water or for other purposes. It is used in the genitive case, indicating possession or origin, so it would typically be translated as 'of a pit' or 'of a cistern'. The apostrophe (keraia) indicates that the word is a numeral, but in this context, it is much more likely to be a coronis, indicating an elision, or simply a scribal error for the word ΛΑΚΚΟΥ, which is the genitive singular of ΛΑΚΚΟΣ.

Inflection: Singular, Genitive, Masculine

Strong’s number: G2999 (Lookup on BibleHub)
