Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συναναπαύομαι, the concept of communal rest and refreshment can be related to Hebrew terms such as נוּחַ (nuach, Strong's 5117), which means "to rest" or "to settle down," and שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's 7965), which encompasses peace, completeness, and welfare, often experienced in community. These terms reflect similar themes of rest and peace found in the Old Testament.

Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe a shared rest or mutual refreshment, often in a spiritual or communal context.

Context: The Greek verb συναναπαύομαι (synanapauomai) appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of resting or finding refreshment in the company of others. This term emphasizes the communal aspect of rest, suggesting a shared experience of peace and rejuvenation. It is used in contexts where believers find solace and encouragement in one another's presence, reflecting the early Christian emphasis on community and mutual support.

In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is notably found in Romans 15:32, where the Apostle Paul expresses his desire to visit the Roman believers so that he may "be refreshed together with you." This usage highlights the importance of fellowship and the spiritual refreshment that comes from being in the company of fellow believers. The concept of συναναπαύομαι underscores the biblical theme of unity and the strength that comes from shared faith and encouragement.

The verb is relatively rare in the New Testament, which may indicate its specific application to situations where communal rest and spiritual refreshment are particularly significant. It serves as a reminder of the value placed on community and the mutual edification that believers are called to provide for one another.
