While this word primarily means 'eyebrow' in classical Greek, in Luke it denotes the brow or edge of a hill—the steep rim where the slope breaks sharply. Luke describes the Nazareth mob driving Jesus to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, intending to throw him off. The term evokes a precipitous edge, a place of danger where one misstep means a deadly fall. Multilingual glosses vary: Spanish 'ceja' (eyebrow), French 'bord' (edge), showing the metaphorical transfer from facial feature to geographical feature.
