Strong's Lexicon anoikodomeó: To rebuild, to build up again Original Word: ἀνοικοδομέω Word Origin: From ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeó, meaning "to build") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1129 (בָּנָה, banah) - to build - H2318 (חָדַשׁ, chadash) - to renew, repair Usage: The verb ἀνοικοδομέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of rebuilding or restoring something that has been destroyed or fallen into disrepair. It conveys the idea of constructing again what was once whole, often with a sense of renewal or restoration to a former state. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, cities and structures were often destroyed by war, natural disasters, or neglect. The concept of rebuilding was significant, as it represented not only physical restoration but also the renewal of community, culture, and religious life. In the Jewish context, the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem was a powerful symbol of spiritual renewal and divine favor.
