However, Louw & Nida include Luke 8:41 under 33.315: âto ask a person to accept offered hospitality â âto invite.ââ But parakaleo does not mean invite here, but simply to urge, implore, or even beg someone to do something.
Graben is German for ditch or trench. The plural form is either graben or grabens. A graben is a valley with a distinct escarpment on each side caused by the displacement of a block of land downward. Graben often occur side-by-side with horsts. Horst and graben structures indicate tensional forces and crustal stretching.
Rift valleys are sometimes called grabens, which means âditchâ in German. While there is no official distinction between a graben and a rift valley, a graben usually describes a small rift valley. A rift valley is a lowland region that forms where Earthâs tectonic plates move apart, or rift.
