ὀρεινός G3714
mountainous, hilly; pertaining to or characteristic of hill-country
This adjective describes terrain characterized by hills or mountains. Classical Greek uses it to distinguish upland regions from plains (pedinos) or flat country. In both New Testament occurrences, it appears in Luke's infancy narrative: Mary travels 'into the hill country' of Judea to visit Elizabeth (1:39), and after John's birth, fear spreads throughout 'all the hill country' of Judea (1:65). The word captures the geographic character of the Judean highlands where these events unfold.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Luke uses the dative feminine form to describe the Judean uplands. The translations consistently render the sense of elevated terrain: English 'hill-country,' Spanish 'montañosa' (mountainous), French 'montagneux,' German preserves the Greek adjective. The geographic reference points to the central Judean ridge, distinct from the coastal plains or Jordan valley—the rugged, elevated region where villages like Ain Karim (traditional site of Elizabeth's home) nestle among the hills. 2×
