Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3666 (ὁμοιόω, homoioō): This Greek verb means "to make like" or "to liken," and it is used in the New Testament to describe the act of comparing or making something similar. While not a direct translation of אוּת (ʾûṯ), it shares the idea of agreement or likeness in a metaphorical sense.

- G4855 (συμφωνέω, symphōneō): This Greek verb means "to agree" or "to be in harmony with," closely aligning with the concept of assenting found in אוּת (ʾûṯ). It is used in the New Testament to describe agreement or concord, particularly in the context of communal or relational harmony.

These Greek terms reflect the broader biblical theme of unity and agreement, resonating with the Hebrew concept of אוּת (ʾûṯ) as a foundational element of relational and spiritual cohesion.

Usage: The Hebrew verb אוּת (ʾûṯ) is used in the context of coming or assenting, often implying a form of agreement or acknowledgment.

Context: The Hebrew root אוּת (ʾûṯ) is a primitive verb that primarily conveys the action of coming or assenting. This term is relatively rare in the Hebrew Bible, and its occurrences are often contextually tied to the idea of agreement or acknowledgment. The verb suggests a movement towards something, either physically or metaphorically, indicating a form of consent or acceptance.

In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), the nuances of אוּת (ʾûṯ) can be seen in passages where individuals or groups come to an agreement or acknowledge a particular truth or command. The verb's usage underscores the importance of unity and consensus in the biblical narrative, reflecting a deeper spiritual or communal assent.

The concept of assenting or coming together is significant in the biblical context, as it often relates to the covenantal relationships between God and His people, as well as among individuals within the community of faith. The act of coming or assenting is not merely physical but carries a weight of spiritual and moral commitment.
