Strong's Lexicon deipnon: Supper, dinner, banquet Original Word: δεῖπνον Word Origin: From the base of δειπνέω (deipneō), meaning "to dine" or "to eat a meal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "deipnon," the concept of a communal meal can be related to Hebrew terms like "שֻׁלְחָן" (shulchan, table) and "סְעוּדָה" (se'udah, feast). Usage: The term "deipnon" refers to the main meal of the day, typically taken in the evening. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe significant meals, such as the Last Supper, and is associated with fellowship and communal gatherings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish culture, the evening meal was a time for family and friends to gather, share food, and engage in conversation. It was a social event that often included discussions on various topics, including religious and philosophical matters. The "deipnon" was more than just a meal; it was an opportunity for community and relationship-building.
