Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνευωχέομαι, the concept of communal feasting and fellowship can be related to Hebrew terms such as "חָגַג" (chagag, Strong's 2287), which means to celebrate a feast or festival, and "סָעַד" (sa'ad, Strong's 5582), which can mean to support or sustain, often in the context of sharing a meal. These terms reflect the cultural and religious significance of communal meals in the Hebrew tradition, similar to the Greek understanding of συνευωχέομαι.

Usage: This verb is used in the context of sharing a meal or participating in a communal feast, often implying fellowship and social interaction.

Context: The Greek verb συνευωχέομαι appears in the New Testament to describe the act of dining or feasting together, often in a communal or celebratory setting. This term emphasizes the aspect of fellowship and unity that comes from sharing a meal. In the cultural context of the New Testament, meals were significant social events that reinforced community bonds and relationships. The act of eating together was not merely about sustenance but also about building and maintaining social ties.

In the early Christian community, shared meals were an important aspect of fellowship, reflecting the unity and love among believers. The communal meal, often associated with the Lord's Supper, was a time for believers to come together in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice and to express their unity in Him. The use of συνευωχέομαι in the New Testament underscores the importance of these gatherings as expressions of Christian fellowship and mutual edification.

While the Berean Standard Bible does not contain a direct translation of συνευωχέομαι, the concept is reflected in passages that describe communal meals and fellowship among believers. For example, in Acts 2:46, the early Christians are described as breaking bread in their homes and eating together with glad and sincere hearts, highlighting the communal and joyous nature of their gatherings.
