Strong's Lexicon gameó: To marry, to wed Original Word: γαμέω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word γάμος (gamos), meaning "marriage" or "wedding." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with marriage is לָקַח (laqach - H3947), which means "to take" or "to take a wife." Usage: The verb "gameó" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of marrying or entering into a marriage covenant. It is often used in contexts that discuss the institution of marriage, the act of taking a spouse, and the social and spiritual implications of marriage. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, marriage was a significant social institution, often arranged by families for economic, social, or political reasons. Jewish culture also held marriage in high regard, viewing it as a covenantal relationship ordained by God. The New Testament reflects these cultural values, emphasizing the sanctity and commitment of marriage.
