A book, scroll, or written document, especially sacred or authoritative Scripture
Denotes a written document in scroll or codex form, typically one bearing sacred or authoritative content. In the Synoptics it refers to the book of Psalms (Luke 20:42; Acts 1:20), the book of Moses (Mark 12:26), and the genealogical record of Jesus (Matt 1:1). Revelation transforms the image into a heavenly scroll sealed with seven seals that only the Lamb may open (Rev 5:1-5). Translations are remarkably uniform: Spanish 'libro,' Hindi 'पुस्तक,' Arabic 'سِفر/كِتاب,' Korean '책,' and Swahili 'kitabu/vitabu' (with the classic Bantu ki-/vi- class pair).

1. Book / scroll (written document) — A written document in scroll or codex form, typically referring to sacred Scripture or an authoritative literary work. Used of the book of Psalms (Luke 20:42; Acts 1:20), the genealogical record (Matt 1:1), the book of the prophet Isaiah (Luke 3:4), and the heavenly scroll sealed with seven seals (Rev 5:1-5). Philippians 4:3 extends it to the metaphorical 'book of life.' The Bantu singular/plural class pair Swahili 'kitabu/vitabu' and Arabic 'سِفر/كِتاب' alike confirm one unified sense of authoritative written text. 10×
