Strong's Lexicon sunantaó: To meet, to encounter, to come together Original Word: συνάντησις Word Origin: From the combination of "σύν" (sun, meaning "with") and "ἀντάω" (antaó, meaning "to meet" or "to encounter"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "פָּגַע" (paga, Strong's H6293), which means to meet, encounter, or entreat. Usage: The Greek verb "sunantaó" primarily means to meet or encounter someone, often implying a purposeful or significant meeting. It can refer to both physical meetings and metaphorical encounters, such as coming across a situation or event. In the New Testament, it is used to describe encounters that have a particular significance or divine appointment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, meetings and encounters were often significant events, especially in a culture that valued hospitality and community. Meetings could be planned or spontaneous, but they often carried social, religious, or political importance. The concept of meeting was also significant in Jewish culture, where divine encounters and meetings with God or His messengers were pivotal moments in the narrative of the Hebrew Scriptures.
