STRONGS NT 330: ἀναθάλλω

ἀναθάλλω: 2 aorist ἀνέθαλον; (Psalm 27:7 (); Wis. 4:4; very rare in Greek writings and only in the poets, cf. Alexander Buttmann (1873) Ausf. Spr. ii., p. 195; (Veitch, under the word θάλλω; Winers Grammar, 87 (83); Buttmann, 59 (52))); to shoot up, sprout again, grow green again, flourish again (Homer, Iliad 1, 236; Aelian v. h. 5, 4); tropically, of those whose condition and affairs are becoming more prosperous: Philippians 4:10 ἀνεθάλετε τό ὑπέρ ἐμοῦ φρονεῖν ye have revived so as to take thought for me (the infinitive being the Greek accusative, or accusative of specification, Winers Grammar, 317 (298); cf. Ellicott at the passage). Others, according to a transitive use of the verb found only in the Sept. (Ezekiel 17:24; Sir. 1:18, etc.), render ye have revived (allowed to revive) your thought for me (the infinitive being taken as an object-accusative, Winers Grammar, 323 (303); Buttmann, 263 (226); cf. Lightfoot at the passage); against whom see Meyer at the passage.

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and θάλλω (thallō, meaning "to flourish" or "to bloom").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναθάλλω, similar concepts of flourishing and renewal can be found in Hebrew words such as צָמַח (tsamach, Strong's Hebrew 6779), meaning "to sprout" or "to grow," and חָדַשׁ (chadash, Strong's Hebrew 2318), meaning "to renew" or "to restore." These terms capture the essence of revival and flourishing present in the Greek ἀναθάλλω.

Usage: The term ἀναθάλλω is used in the New Testament to describe a renewal or revival, often in the context of growth or flourishing after a period of dormancy or inactivity.

Context: The Greek verb ἀναθάλλω appears in the New Testament in Philippians 4:10, where the Apostle Paul expresses his joy at the Philippians' renewed concern for him. The term conveys the idea of a resurgence or revival, akin to a plant that blooms again after a season of dormancy. In Philippians 4:10 (BSB), Paul writes, "I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it." Here, ἀναθάλλω metaphorically illustrates the Philippians' renewed support and care, likening it to a plant that has come back to life and is flourishing once more. This imagery underscores the vitality and renewed energy in their relationship and support for Paul's ministry.

The use of ἀναθάλλω in this context highlights the cyclical nature of growth and support within the Christian community, emphasizing the importance of renewal and revival in spiritual and communal life. It serves as a reminder of the potential for rejuvenation and the continuous cycle of giving and receiving within the body of Christ.
