Berean Strong's Lexicon sugkerannumi: To mix together, to blend, to unite Original Word: συγκεράννυμι Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and κεράννυμι (kerannumi, meaning "to mix" or "to mingle"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγκεράννυμι, the concept of mixing or blending can be found in Hebrew words like ערב (ereb, meaning "to mix" or "to mingle") and בלל (balal, meaning "to mix" or "to confuse"). Usage: The verb συγκεράννυμι is used to describe the action of mixing or blending different elements together to form a unified whole. In a biblical context, it often refers to the blending of ideas, beliefs, or peoples. The term can imply a harmonious integration or, conversely, a problematic mixture that leads to confusion or dilution of purity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of mixing was prevalent in various aspects of life, from culinary practices to philosophical ideas. Mixing could symbolize unity and cooperation, but it could also represent compromise or corruption, depending on the context. In the biblical narrative, the idea of mixing often carried connotations of spiritual or cultural syncretism, where the purity of faith or practice was at risk of being compromised by foreign influences.
