Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συζεύγνυμι, the concept of joining or yoking is present in several Hebrew terms related to marriage and covenant. Some related Hebrew words include:
• חָבַר (chabar, Strong's 2266): To join, to unite.
• לָקַח (laqach, Strong's 3947): To take, often used in the context of taking a wife.
• בָּעַל (ba'al, Strong's 1166): To marry, to rule over, often used in the context of a husband.

These Hebrew terms, like συζεύγνυμι, emphasize the binding and covenantal nature of relationships that are central to biblical teachings on marriage and unity.

Usage: The term συζεύγνυμι is used in the context of joining or uniting, often in reference to marriage or a close union. It conveys the idea of two entities being bound together in a significant and purposeful way.

Context: The Greek verb συζεύγνυμι appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the union or joining of two parties. It is most notably used in the context of marriage, where it describes the divine joining of a man and a woman. This term underscores the sacred and binding nature of the marital relationship as ordained by God.

In Matthew 19:6 (BSB), Jesus uses this term to explain the permanence and sanctity of marriage: "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Here, συζεύγνυμι highlights the divine action in the union of marriage, indicating that it is not merely a human contract but a spiritual and covenantal bond established by God.

The use of συζεύγνυμι in the New Testament reflects a broader biblical theme of unity and covenant. It is a reminder of the importance of commitment and fidelity in relationships that are divinely instituted. The term also serves as a metaphor for the relationship between Christ and the Church, illustrating the profound and inseparable bond that exists between them.
