Berean Strong's Lexicon sunarpazo: To seize, to snatch away, to catch up Original Word: συναρπάζω Word Origin: From σύν (sun, meaning "together with") and ἁρπάζω (harpazo, meaning "to seize" or "to snatch") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunarpazo," similar concepts of seizing or capturing can be found in Hebrew words like תָּפַשׂ (taphas, Strong's 8610) meaning "to seize" or "to capture." Usage: The Greek verb "sunarpazo" conveys the action of seizing or snatching something or someone with force and often with a sense of urgency. It implies a sudden and decisive action, often used in contexts where a group or crowd is involved in the act of seizing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of seizing or snatching was often associated with both physical and metaphorical actions. It could refer to the physical act of capturing or taking hold of something, as well as the metaphorical idea of being overtaken by emotions or circumstances. The use of "sunarpazo" in the New Testament reflects the dynamic and sometimes tumultuous nature of early Christian experiences, where believers often faced sudden and forceful opposition.
