kléros: a lot Original Word: κλῆρος, ου, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: kléros
Phonetic Spelling: (klay'-ros)
Short Definition: a lot, portion
Definition: (a) a lot, (b) a portion assigned; hence: a portion of the people of God assigned to one's care, a congregation.
Cognate: 2819 klḗros (a masculine noun derived from klēro, "to cast a lot") – properly, a lot, cast to distribute ("apportion"). Scripture encourages casting lots (2819 /klḗros) to better discern the preferred-will of God (cf. 2307 /thélēma and their association in Col 1:9-12). [2818 /klēronómos ("heir") is derived from 2819 /klḗros ("lot, the casting of lots"), not the other way around – i.e. the term "lots" is not derived from 2818 (klēronómos). Moreover, 2819 (klḗros) is not etymologically related to (cognate with) 2975/lagxanō ("to cast lots," see there).] Word Origin
of uncertain origin
