1: κράσπεδον

(Strong's #2899 — Noun Neuter — kraspedon — kras'-ped-on )

was primarily "the extremity or prominent part of a thing, an edge;" hence "the fringe of a garment, or a little fringe," hanging down from the edge of the mantle or cloak. The Jews had these attached to their mantles to remind them of the Law, according to Numbers 15:38,39; Deuteronomy 22:12; Zechariah 8:23 . This is the meaning in Matthew 23:5 . In Matthew 9:20; 14:36; Mark 6:56; Luke 8:44 , it is used of the border of Christ's garment (AV "hem," in the first two places). See HEM.

2: ὅριον

(Strong's #3725 — Noun Neuter — horion — hor'-ee-on )

"the border of a country or district" (cp. Eng., "horizon"), is always used in the plural. The AV has "coasts," but "borders" in Matthew 4:13; the RV always "borders," Matthew 2:16; 4:13; 8:34; 15:22,39; 19:1; Mark 5:17; 7:31 (twice); 10:1; Acts 13:50 . In some of these it signifies territory. See COAST.

3: μεθόριον

(Strong's #3181 — Noun Neuter — methorion — meth-or'-ee-os )

meta, "with," and No. 2, similar in meaning, is found, in some mss., in Mark 7:24 . Cp. horothesia, under BOUND.
