Strong's Lexicon lahaqah: Company, band, assembly Original Word: לַהֲקָה Word Origin: Derived from the root לָהַק (lahak), which means "to gather" or "to assemble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is συναγωγή (synagōgē, Strong's Greek 4864), which also means assembly or gathering, particularly in a religious context. Usage: The term "lahaqah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a group or assembly of people, often in the context of a gathering for a specific purpose. It can refer to a band of soldiers, a company of travelers, or a congregation of worshippers. The word emphasizes the collective nature of the group, highlighting unity and shared purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, gatherings or assemblies were significant for both religious and social reasons. Assemblies could be convened for worship, legal matters, or military campaigns. The concept of community and collective identity was central to Israelite society, and terms like "lahaqah" reflect the importance of these gatherings in maintaining social cohesion and religious observance.
