Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primary verb in Greek.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While κεράννυμι is a Greek term, its concept of mixing can be related to several Hebrew words that convey similar meanings. These include:

- H4537 (מָסַךְ, masak): To mix, mingle, or pour out, often used in the context of preparing a drink offering or anointing oil.
- H6148 (עָרַב, arab): To mix or mingle, used in various contexts including the mixing of peoples or languages.

These Hebrew terms reflect the broader biblical theme of mixing, whether in physical, cultural, or spiritual contexts, and provide a foundation for understanding the Greek concept as it appears in the New Testament.

Usage: The verb κεράννυμι is used in the context of mixing or mingling substances, often referring to the mixing of liquids such as wine with water. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the blending of different elements or ideas.

Context: The Greek verb κεράννυμι appears in the New Testament with the primary sense of mixing or mingling. This term is often associated with the practice of diluting wine with water, a common custom in ancient times to moderate the strength of the drink. The act of mixing is not only a physical process but can also carry symbolic or metaphorical meanings, such as the blending of different peoples, ideas, or spiritual truths.

In the New Testament, κεράννυμι is used in the context of the parable of the wedding banquet, where the king sends his servants to invite guests to a feast. The term is employed to describe the preparation of the banquet, highlighting the cultural practice of mixing wine. This usage underscores the theme of readiness and the invitation to partake in the kingdom of God.

Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): In Matthew 22:10, the term is implied in the preparation of the wedding feast, where the servants gather all they find, both good and bad, to fill the wedding hall with guests. The mixing of guests symbolizes the inclusive nature of God's invitation.

The metaphorical use of κεράννυμι can also be seen in discussions of spiritual truths, where the blending of different teachings or doctrines is cautioned against, emphasizing the need for purity and discernment in faith.
