Strong's Concordance entugchanó: to chance upon, by impl. confer with, by ext. entreat Original Word: ἐντυγχάνωPart of Speech: Verb Transliteration: entugchanó Phonetic Spelling: (en-toong-khan'-o) Definition: to chance upon, by implication confer with, entreat Usage: (a) I meet, encounter, hence: (b) I call (upon), make a petition, make suit, supplication. HELPS Word-studies 1793 entygxánō (from 1722 /en, "in," which intensifies 5177 /tygxánō, "to obtain by hitting the mark") – properly, "light upon (meet with), obtain" (LS); "to go and meet a person to converse, consult," i.e. to intervene ("intersect with"). [J. Thayer documents how this meaning is consistently the same in ancient Greek writers. The root of 5177 (tygxánō) means "to strike, hit the bulls-eye" ("spot on"). Accordingly, it is used in classical Greek as the antonym of harmartia ("to miss the mark, sin"), so Lucian, Xenophon, Homer, etc. (see Thayer, 5177 /tygxánō).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom en and tugchanó Definition to chance upon, by impl. confer with, by ext. entreat NASB Translation appealed (1), intercedes (2), make intercession (1), pleads (1).
