Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is קָבַץ (qabats), which means "to gather" or "to collect." Usage: The verb "sunathroizó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of gathering or assembling people or things together. It often implies a purposeful or intentional gathering, whether for a meeting, an event, or a collective action. The term can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, indicating either a physical assembly or a coming together of ideas or forces. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, gatherings and assemblies were common for various purposes, including civic, religious, and social events.
