Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַף (asaph), which means "to gather" or "to collect."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of gathering or collection in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms in the Septuagint and the New Testament. Some corresponding Strong's Greek entries include:

• G4863 (συνάγω, synagō): To gather together, to assemble.
• G1996 (ἐπισυνάγω, episynagō): To gather together, to collect.
• G4864 (συναγωγή, synagōgē): A gathering, an assembly, often used for a synagogue.

These Greek terms capture the essence of gathering or assembling, similar to the Hebrew אֹסֶף, and are used in contexts that emphasize community, worship, and the bringing together of people or resources.

Usage: The term אֹסֶף is used in the context of gathering or collecting, often referring to the act of assembling people or things together.

Context: The Hebrew word אֹסֶף (osef) is a noun that signifies a collection or gathering. It is derived from the root אָסַף (asaph), which is a common verb in the Hebrew Bible meaning "to gather" or "to collect." This root is used in various contexts, including the gathering of people, harvests, or even thoughts. The noun form אֹסֶף appears in contexts where the emphasis is on the result of the gathering process—a collection or assembly of items or individuals.

In the Hebrew Bible, the concept of gathering is significant, often associated with the gathering of the people of Israel, the collection of harvests, or the assembly of materials for construction or worship. The act of gathering is seen as an important communal and religious activity, reflecting the unity and purpose of the people of God.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) does not have a direct English equivalent for every occurrence of אֹסֶף, but the concept is reflected in passages where gathering or assembling is a central theme. For example, the gathering of the Israelites for festivals or the collection of offerings for the temple are instances where the underlying idea of אֹסֶף is present.
