suzeugnumi: To join together, to yoke together

Original Word: συζεύγνυμι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: suzeugnumi
Pronunciation: soo-zyoog'-noo-mee
Phonetic Spelling: (sood-zyoog'-noo-mee)
Definition: To join together, to yoke together
Meaning: I yoke together, unite (as man and wife).

Word Origin: From σύν (G4862, meaning "together") and ζεύγνυμι (G2218, meaning "to yoke" or "to join").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of joining or yoking is חָבַר (H2266), which means to join, bind, or unite.

Usage: The verb "suzeugnumi" primarily means to join or yoke together, often used in the context of marriage or a close union. It conveys the idea of a binding or uniting relationship, emphasizing the concept of two becoming one. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the union between individuals, particularly in the context of marriage.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of yoking was commonly associated with agriculture, where two animals were yoked together to plow fields. This imagery was extended metaphorically to human relationships, particularly marriage, where two individuals are joined together to work in harmony. In Jewish culture, marriage was considered a sacred covenant, and the idea of being "yoked together" underscored the commitment and unity expected in such a relationship.
