Strong's Lexicon katamanthanó: To observe carefully, to consider, to understand thoroughly. Original Word: καταμανθάνω Word Origin: From the combination of "kata" (a preposition meaning "down" or "against") and "manthanó" (to learn or understand). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταμανθάνω, the concept of careful observation and understanding can be related to Hebrew words like בִּין (bin), which means to discern or understand, and שָׂכַל (sakal), which means to be wise or prudent. Usage: The verb καταμανθάνω is used to describe the act of observing or considering something with great care and attention. It implies a thorough understanding or comprehension that comes from careful observation or study. This term suggests a deeper level of learning or insight, often involving reflection and discernment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, learning and understanding were highly valued, especially in philosophical and rhetorical contexts. The concept of careful observation and deep understanding was essential for philosophers and scholars who sought to comprehend the world and human nature. In the biblical context, this term would resonate with the Jewish tradition of meditation on the Scriptures, where careful study and reflection were seen as pathways to wisdom and spiritual insight.
