Strong's Lexicon epichorégia: Supply, provision Original Word: ἐπιχορηγία Word Origin: From the verb ἐπιχορηγέω (epichorēgeō), which is a compound of ἐπί (epi, "upon") and χορηγέω (chorēgeō, "to supply" or "to furnish"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epichorégia," the concept of divine provision and supply can be seen in words like יָסַף (yasaph, Strong's H3254) meaning "to add" or "to increase," and שָׁפַע (shaphah, Strong's H8199) meaning "to supply" or "to provide abundantly." Usage: The term "epichorégia" refers to the act of supplying or providing something necessary. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the abundant provision or support given by God or through His means. It conveys the idea of a generous and sufficient supply, often in a spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the term "chorēgeō" was associated with the funding of public performances or festivals, where a wealthy patron would supply the necessary resources. The prefix "epi-" intensifies the meaning, suggesting an ample or abundant supply. In the New Testament, this concept is applied to the spiritual provision and support that God provides to believers, emphasizing His generosity and sufficiency.
