Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and κλείω (kleió, "to shut" or "to close")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H5462 סָגַר (sagar): To shut, close, or deliver up. This Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of shutting or confining, similar to the Greek συγκλείω. For example, in Genesis 7:16, it is used to describe God shutting Noah into the ark.

• H3607 כָּלָא (kala): To restrain, shut up, or withhold. This term is used in contexts where something is being confined or held back, akin to the Greek συγκλείω. An example can be found in 1 Samuel 25:33, where it describes being restrained from wrongdoing.

These Hebrew terms provide a linguistic and conceptual parallel to the Greek συγκλείω, illustrating the continuity of the theme of confinement and the need for divine intervention across both Testaments.

Usage: The term συγκλείω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of enclosing or confining, often in a metaphorical sense, such as being confined under sin or law.

Context: The Greek verb συγκλείω (synkleió) appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of being shut in or confined. This term is used in contexts that emphasize the comprehensive nature of confinement, whether it be physical, spiritual, or metaphorical.

In Romans 11:32, Paul writes, "For God has consigned all men to disobedience, so that He may have mercy on them all." Here, συγκλείω is translated as "consigned," indicating that all humanity is enclosed under disobedience, highlighting the universal need for God's mercy.

Similarly, in Galatians 3:22, Paul states, "But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ, the promise might be given to those who believe." In this passage, συγκλείω is used to describe the state of being confined under sin, underscoring the purpose of the law in leading people to faith in Christ.

The use of συγκλείω in these contexts reflects a theological understanding of humanity's condition apart from divine intervention. It illustrates the comprehensive nature of sin's hold on humanity and the necessity of divine grace for liberation.
