Strong's Lexicon anatheóreó: To observe, to consider, to look closely Original Word: ἀναθεωρέω Word Origin: From ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and θεωρέω (theóreó, meaning "to look at" or "to behold") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναθεωρέω, similar concepts of careful observation and contemplation can be found in Hebrew words like רָאָה (ra'ah, meaning "to see") and בִּין (bin, meaning "to understand" or "to discern"). Usage: The verb ἀναθεωρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of observing or considering something with careful attention. It implies a deeper level of scrutiny or contemplation, often with the intent of understanding or discerning the significance of what is being observed. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, observation and contemplation were highly valued, especially in philosophical and rhetorical contexts. The act of careful observation was seen as a means to gain wisdom and insight. In the New Testament, this term is used to encourage believers to look beyond the surface and to understand the deeper spiritual truths.
