Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραβιάζομαι, similar concepts of urging or compelling can be found in Hebrew terms such as חָזַק (chazaq, Strong's Hebrew 2388), which means "to strengthen, to prevail, to harden, to be strong," often used in contexts of encouragement or insistence. Another related term is פָּתָה (pathah, Strong's Hebrew 6601), meaning "to persuade, to entice, to deceive," which can carry a similar connotation of persuasion or urging.

Usage: The term παραβιάζομαι is used in the context of urging or compelling someone to do something, often with a sense of insistence or strong persuasion.

Context: The Greek verb παραβιάζομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals are urged or compelled to take a particular action. This term conveys a sense of strong persuasion or insistence, often implying that the person being urged is initially reluctant or hesitant.

In the Berean Standard Bible, παραβιάζομαι is notably used in the account of the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:29. Here, the disciples urge Jesus to stay with them: "But they urged Him strongly, 'Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.' So He went in to stay with them." This passage illustrates the use of παραβιάζομαι in a context of hospitality and earnest request, where the disciples, moved by their encounter with Jesus, insist that He remain with them.

The term reflects a cultural and relational dynamic where hospitality and the desire for continued fellowship are expressed through earnest persuasion. It highlights the importance of community and the bonds formed through shared experiences and revelations.
