Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὁμιλέω, similar concepts of speaking or conversing can be found in Hebrew words such as דָּבַר (dabar • Strong's Hebrew 1696), which means "to speak" or "to declare," and שִׂיחַ (siach • Strong's Hebrew 7878), which means "to meditate" or "to converse." These Hebrew terms also emphasize communication and interaction, akin to the Greek ὁμιλέω.

Usage: The verb ὁμιλέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of conversing or associating with others. It implies a form of communication or interaction that involves dialogue or fellowship.

Context: The Greek verb ὁμιλέω appears in the New Testament to denote the act of conversing or engaging in dialogue. It is a term that conveys more than just speaking; it implies a level of intimacy or fellowship in the interaction. This word is used in contexts where individuals are engaged in meaningful conversation or association.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὁμιλέω is used in Acts 20:11: "Then Paul went upstairs, broke bread, and ate. After speaking until daybreak, he departed." Here, the term is translated as "speaking," indicating Paul's engagement in extended conversation and teaching with the believers.

It underscores the importance of communication in building relationships and sharing the teachings of Christ. The act of conversing, as denoted by ὁμιλέω, is integral to the spread of the Gospel and the strengthening of the early church.
