The term consistently marks a geographical area connected with a named place or its inhabitants: people travel into or out of it, reside within it, or are described as coming from it.

   The noun identifies the area into which people travel or from which they depart: in Mark 7:24 the APB renders movement toward the “regions of Tyre,” and in Matthew 19:1 it renders arrival in the “region of Judea.” In Mark 7:31, the genitive plural occurs in the movements out from Tyre and within Decapolis; in Mark 5:17 and Matthew 8:34, the inhabitants ask Jesus to leave their area. The dative plural also locates events around named places, as the APB renders the areas of Zebulun and Naphtali in Matthew 4:13 and the area surrounding Bethlehem in Matthew 2:16.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB most often uses “region” or “regions,” while Acts 13:50 has “district” and Matthew 2:16 has “surrounding region.” These are presentations of the surrounding clauses rather than fixed English equivalents.
