Strong's Lexicon ekgamiskó: To give in marriage Original Word: ἐκγαμίζω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb γαμίζω (gamizō, meaning "to marry" or "to give in marriage"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent conceptually related to ἐκγαμίζω is found in the verb נָתַן (natan, Strong's Hebrew 5414), which means "to give." While not a direct translation, it reflects the act of giving in marriage as seen in various Old Testament contexts. Usage: The verb ἐκγαμίζω is used in the context of arranging or giving someone in marriage. It implies the act of a parent or guardian arranging the marriage of their child, typically a daughter. This term is used to describe the cultural practice of parents being involved in the marriage arrangements of their children. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures, marriages were often arranged by the parents or guardians of the bride and groom. This practice was rooted in the social and economic structures of the time, where marriage was not only a personal union but also a familial and communal alliance. The act of giving in marriage was a significant responsibility, reflecting the family's honor and social standing. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originvariant reading for gamiskó, q.v.
