Strong's Lexicon metadidómi: To share, to impart, to give Original Word: μεταδίδωμι Word Origin: From μετά (meta, meaning "with" or "after") and δίδωμι (didómi, meaning "to give") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent to μεταδίδωμι, the concept of sharing and generosity is reflected in Hebrew words like נָתַן (natan, Strong's H5414), meaning "to give." Usage: The Greek verb μεταδίδωμι (metadidómi) primarily means to share or impart something to others. It conveys the idea of giving a portion of what one has to someone else, often with a sense of generosity and community. In the New Testament, it is used to describe acts of sharing material goods, spiritual gifts, or knowledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, sharing and generosity were important social values, often associated with hospitality and community life. The early Christian communities emphasized sharing as a reflection of their unity in Christ and as a practical expression of love and care for one another. This was particularly significant in a context where many believers faced economic hardship and persecution.
