Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb πίπτω (piptō, meaning "to fall" or "to lie down").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναπίπτω, the concept of reclining during meals can be related to the Hebrew practice of eating in a relaxed and communal setting, as seen in various Old Testament passages describing feasts and gatherings. The Hebrew word יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's 3427), meaning "to sit" or "to dwell," can sometimes convey a similar sense of being seated or settled, though it does not specifically denote reclining. Usage: The term ἀναπίπτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of reclining at a table, a common practice during meals in the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman cultures. It is often associated with the posture taken during significant meals or gatherings, such as the Last Supper. Context: The Greek verb ἀναπίπτω appears in several New Testament passages, primarily in the context of dining. In the cultural setting of the New Testament, meals were typically eaten while reclining on couches around a low table, a practice that signified relaxation and fellowship. This term is used to describe the physical posture of individuals during these meals, indicating a position of rest and engagement in the communal activity of eating.
