These Hebrew terms convey similar ideas of counting or numbering, which can be seen in various Old Testament contexts where individuals or groups are counted or listed among others.

Usage: This verb is used in the context of being included or reckoned among a group or category. It implies a formal or official inclusion in a list or group.

Context: The Greek verb συγκαταψηφίζομαι appears in the New Testament in the context of being included or numbered among a group. It is a compound word that combines the idea of being "with" (σύν) and "counted" or "reckoned" (καταψηφίζομαι). This term is used to describe the act of being officially or formally included in a group or list.

In the New Testament, συγκαταψηφίζομαι is found in Acts 1:26, where it describes the selection of Matthias as an apostle. After the ascension of Jesus, the remaining eleven apostles sought to fill the vacancy left by Judas Iscariot. They prayed and cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias, who was then "numbered with" the eleven apostles. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as follows: "Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles" (Acts 1:26, BSB).

This usage highlights the formal and communal aspect of being included among the apostles, emphasizing the recognition and acceptance of Matthias as a legitimate member of the apostolic group. The term underscores the importance of community and the process of discernment in the early church.
