Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition σύν (syn, meaning "with") and the verb ἀνακεῖμαι (anakeimai, meaning "to recline" or "to lie down").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνανακεῖμαι, the concept of reclining at a meal can be related to the Hebrew practice of sharing meals in a communal setting, often associated with the Hebrew word ישב (yashab, Strong's Hebrew 3427), meaning "to sit" or "to dwell," which can imply sitting together for a meal. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of reclining at a table with others, often in the context of a meal or banquet. It conveys the idea of fellowship and communal participation in a meal. Context: The term συνανακεῖμαι appears in several passages in the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels, where it describes the act of reclining at a table during a meal. In the cultural context of the New Testament, meals were often eaten in a reclining position, especially during formal or significant gatherings. This practice was common in Greco-Roman and Jewish cultures of the time.
