Strong's Lexicon diatribó: To spend time, to stay, to remain Original Word: διατρίβω Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "by") and τρίβω (tribo, meaning "to rub" or "to wear away"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διατρίβω, the concept of dwelling or remaining can be related to Hebrew words like יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's H3427), meaning "to sit, dwell, or remain." Usage: The verb διατρίβω primarily means to spend or pass time, often in the context of staying or remaining in a particular place. It conveys the idea of lingering or residing somewhere for a period. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of spending time in a location, often for the purpose of teaching, fellowship, or ministry. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, travel and hospitality were significant aspects of daily life. Teachers, philosophers, and itinerant preachers would often travel from city to city, spending time with local communities to share their teachings. The concept of διατρίβω reflects this cultural practice of staying in a place to engage with the community, build relationships, and impart knowledge or spiritual guidance.
