Strong's Lexicon sugkatathesis: Agreement, consent Original Word: συγκατάθεσις Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "σύν" (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and "κατάθεσις" (katathesis, meaning "a setting down" or "a deposit"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sugkatathesis," the concept of agreement or consent can be related to Hebrew words like "בְּרִית" (berit, meaning "covenant") and "הֶסְכֵּם" (heskem, meaning "agreement" or "consent"). Usage: The term "sugkatathesis" refers to the act of agreeing or giving consent. It implies a mutual decision or a shared understanding between parties. In the context of the New Testament, it often denotes a spiritual or moral agreement, particularly in matters of faith and doctrine. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, agreements and consent were crucial in both legal and social contexts. Contracts, marriages, and various forms of partnerships required mutual consent. In the early Christian community, the concept of agreement was significant in maintaining unity and doctrinal purity. The term reflects the importance of collective decision-making and shared beliefs in the early church.
