Skull

skul (gulgoleth; kranion): The Hebrew word, which is well known to Bible readers in its Aramaic-Greek form "Golgotha," expresses the more or less globular shape of the human skull, being derived from a root meaning "to roll." It is often translated in English Versions of the Bible by "head," "poll," etc. In the meaning "skull" it is found twice (Judg 9:53; 2 Kgs 9:35). In the New Testament the word is found only in connection with GOLGOTHA (which see), "the place of a skull" (Matt 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17), or "the skull" (Luke 23:33).
