Strong's Lexicon

epanagó: To bring back, to return, to lead up again

Original Word: ἐπανάγω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: epanagó
Pronunciation: ep-an-ag-O
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-an-ag'-o)
Definition: To bring back, to return, to lead up again
Meaning: (a) nautical: I put out (from the shore), (lit: I take up a ship on to the high seas), (b) I go up, possibly: I go up again, return.

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ἀνάγω (anagó, meaning "to lead up" or "to bring up").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπανάγω, the concept of returning or bringing back can be seen in Hebrew words like שׁוּב (shuv, Strong's H7725), which means "to return" or "to restore."

Usage: The verb ἐπανάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of leading or bringing something or someone back to a previous position or state. It can also imply a sense of restoration or returning to a place of origin. In a nautical context, it can mean to set sail again or to launch out into deeper waters.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of returning or bringing back was significant in various contexts, including travel, trade, and military campaigns. The term ἐπανάγω would have been familiar in maritime activities, where ships often needed to be brought back to port or launched again for further voyages. This imagery is reflected in the New Testament, where the sea and boats are common elements in the narratives of Jesus and His disciples.
