Strong's Lexicon anaginóskó: To read, to recognize, to know again Original Word: ἀναγινώσκω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and γινώσκω (ginóskó, meaning "to know" or "to recognize"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the act of reading is קָרָא (qara, Strong's H7121), which means "to call, proclaim, read." Usage: The verb ἀναγινώσκω primarily means "to read" in the context of reading aloud or recognizing written text. It implies an understanding or recognition of the content being read. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of reading Scripture or public reading in synagogues and early Christian gatherings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Greco-Roman world, literacy was not as widespread as it is today, and reading was often a communal activity. Scriptures were read aloud in synagogues and early Christian assemblies, serving both as a means of instruction and worship. The act of reading was not merely for personal edification but was a communal experience that reinforced shared beliefs and values.
