Transliteration: kerannumi
Pronunciation: keh-RAN-noo-mee
Phonetic Spelling: (ker-an'-noo-mee)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of mixing can be found in several Hebrew words, such as ערב (arab, Strong's H6150), which means to mix or mingle. This Hebrew term is used in contexts like the mixing of peoples or the blending of different elements.

Usage: The Greek verb "kerannumi" primarily means to mix or mingle substances together. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe the blending of ideas, beliefs, or people. The term can imply a thorough integration or combination, suggesting a transformation of the original components into a new entity.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, mixing was a common practice in various contexts, such as mixing wine with water, which was a standard practice in Greek and Roman dining to moderate the strength of the wine. The concept of mixing also extended to social and religious contexts, where different cultures and beliefs would blend, sometimes leading to syncretism. In the biblical context, mixing could have both positive and negative connotations, depending on what was being mixed and the outcome of such a mixture.
