Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συλλυπέω, the concept of shared grief and communal mourning is present in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew word "נָחַם" (nacham, Strong's H5162) can convey a sense of comfort or consolation, often in the context of mourning. Another related term is "אָבַל" (abal, Strong's H56), meaning "to mourn" or "to lament," which can imply a communal aspect of mourning. These terms reflect the shared experience of sorrow and the importance of community support in times of grief, similar to the New Testament usage of συλλυπέω. Usage: The verb συλλυπέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of sharing in another's grief or sorrow, indicating a deep sense of empathy and communal mourning. Context: The Greek verb συλλυπέω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals are depicted as sharing in the sorrow or grief of others. This term emphasizes the communal aspect of mourning, where the burden of sorrow is not borne alone but is shared among a community or group. The use of συλλυπέω reflects the biblical principle of bearing one another's burdens, as seen in Galatians 6:2, though the specific term is not used in that verse. |
