Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and αἱρέω (haireo, "to take" or "to choose")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συναιρέω, the concept of reconciliation and gathering can be related to several Hebrew terms, such as:
• קָבַץ (qabats, Strong's 6908): To gather, collect.
• שָׁלַם (shalam, Strong's 7999): To be complete, sound, to make amends, to reconcile.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of gathering and reconciliation, which are central to the biblical narrative of God's relationship with His people.

Usage: The term συναιρέω is used in the context of bringing together or reconciling differences, often implying a conclusion or settlement of a matter. It can also refer to the act of gathering or collecting.

Context: The Greek verb συναιρέω appears in the New Testament with the connotation of bringing together or reconciling. It is a compound word formed from σύν, meaning "together," and αἱρέω, meaning "to take" or "to choose." This verb is used to describe the action of gathering or collecting, as well as the process of reconciling or settling disputes.

In the Berean Standard Bible, συναιρέω is used in contexts that emphasize the resolution of differences or the bringing together of disparate elements. The term suggests a harmonious conclusion or the act of making a decision that unites previously conflicting parties or ideas.

The theological implications of συναιρέω can be seen in its application to the reconciliation of humanity with God, a theme prevalent in the New Testament. This reconciliation is achieved through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who brings together God and humanity, settling the enmity caused by sin.

The use of συναιρέω in the New Testament underscores the importance of unity and reconciliation within the Christian community. It highlights the call for believers to be peacemakers and to work towards resolving conflicts in a manner that reflects the reconciling work of Christ.
