ἑλίσσω G1667
roll up, coil, wrap up
This verb means to roll up or wrap up, like a scroll. Hebrews 1:12 quotes Psalm 102 about rolling up the heavens like a garment, and Revelation 6:14 describes the sky rolling up like a scroll at judgment. The word emphasizes the action of coiling or folding something flexible. Classical usage included rolling, twisting, and coiling various objects, particularly scrolls and garments.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Describing the action of rolling up like a scroll or garment, this sense appears in apocalyptic imagery of cosmic dissolution. Hebrews 1:12 uses it in contrast to Christ's unchanging nature—creation will be rolled up like clothing, but he remains. Revelation 6:14 depicts the sky rolling up as part of eschatological judgment. Both emphasize the transitory nature of creation. 2×
