Berean Strong's Lexicon sullegó: To gather, to collect Original Word: συλλέγω Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "together") and λέγω (legó, meaning "to gather" or "to collect"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is אָסַף (asaph, Strong's H622), which also means "to gather" or "to collect." Usage: The verb συλλέγω (sullegó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of gathering or collecting items or people together. It often implies a purposeful or intentional action, such as gathering crops, assembling people, or collecting items for a specific purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, gathering was a common activity, especially in agricultural societies where harvests were crucial for survival. The act of gathering could also extend to social and religious contexts, where people were brought together for communal activities, worship, or teaching. The concept of gathering is deeply rooted in the communal and covenantal aspects of Jewish and early Christian life, reflecting the importance of community and shared purpose.
