    Comments: The size of an οἰκία[a] or of an {L:οἶκος}[a] ({D:7.2}) may differ greatly. For example, the house referred to in {S:04200701000010} would no doubt have been relatively elaborate, and in {S:04001100800032} {L:οἶκος}[a] refers to the palace in which Herod lived. In a number of languages it is important to distinguish clearly between various types of dwellings depending upon their size and presumed importance. Accordingly, in rendering οἰκία[a] or {L:οἶκος}[a] it is necessary to use a number of different terms roughly equivalent to the English series ‘cottage,’ ‘house,’ ‘official residence,’ ‘palace,’ ‘temple,’ etc.|In a number of languages one must distinguish carefully between a house and a home. A term meaning ‘house’ would be used in referring to any dwelling as a construction, while a term meaning ‘home’ would be used in referring to the more or less permanent dwelling of a particular person. In {S:04100200100022}, for example, it is significant to indicate that Jesus was dwelling in the house through the roof of which the paralyzed man was let down.

    DefinitionShort: the family consisting of those related by blood and marriage, as well as slaves and servants, living in the same house or homestead
    Glosses: ['family', 'household']
    Comments: In a number of languages the equivalent of οἶκος[b] or οἰκία[b] would be ‘those who live together’ or ‘those who have the same fence’ (this being a reference to a group of huts surrounded by a fence and thus constituting a single so-called ‘family unit’).
