Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and the verb μιρίζω (mirízō, meaning "to divide" or "to apportion").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συμμιρίζω, the concept of collective reasoning or decision-making can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָעַץ (ya'ats, Strong's 3289), meaning "to counsel" or "to advise," and חָשַׁב (chashab, Strong's 2803), meaning "to think" or "to plan." These terms reflect the idea of coming together to deliberate or make decisions, similar to the Greek concept of συμμιρίζω.

Usage: The term συμμιρίζω is not directly found in the New Testament text. It is a compound word that suggests the action of jointly considering or calculating something, often in the context of shared reasoning or collective decision-making.

Context: The Greek verb συμμιρίζω, while not appearing in the canonical New Testament, reflects a concept of collective reasoning or joint calculation. This term would have been understood in the context of ancient Greek culture as an action involving the collaboration of multiple parties to reach a decision or conclusion. The prefix σύν (syn) implies a sense of unity or togetherness, while μιρίζω (mirízō) involves the act of dividing or apportioning, suggesting a process where individuals come together to share insights or distribute responsibilities.

In a biblical context, the idea of collective reasoning can be seen in various narratives where groups come together to deliberate or make decisions. For example, in Acts 15, the early church leaders gather to discuss and decide on the issue of Gentile believers and the Mosaic Law. Although the specific term συμμιρίζω is not used, the concept of joint deliberation is evident.

Theologically, the notion of communal discernment is significant in the life of the church, emphasizing the importance of unity and shared wisdom in decision-making processes. This aligns with the broader biblical themes of fellowship and the body of Christ working together in harmony.
