These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with συγκαλέω, involving the act of calling or summoning individuals for a purpose, whether in a religious, communal, or judicial context.

Usage: The verb συγκαλέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of calling people together for a specific purpose, often for a meeting or assembly. It implies a gathering of individuals who are summoned to come together.

Context: The Greek verb συγκαλέω appears in several contexts within the New Testament, primarily in the Acts of the Apostles. It is used to describe the action of summoning a group of people for a particular purpose, often related to decision-making or discussion. For example, in Acts 10:24, Cornelius "called together" his relatives and close friends to hear Peter speak. Similarly, in Acts 20:17, Paul "called together" the elders of the church in Ephesus to give them his farewell address.

The use of συγκαλέω often indicates a formal or significant gathering, highlighting the importance of the message or event that is to follow. It underscores the communal aspect of early Christian life, where decisions and teachings were shared and discussed collectively. The act of calling together reflects the early church's emphasis on unity and collective discernment.

In a broader theological context, συγκαλέω can be seen as a reflection of God's call to His people, gathering them for His purposes. This aligns with the biblical theme of God summoning His people to Himself, as seen throughout both the Old and New Testaments.
