Strong's Lexicon
suneidon: To perceive, to be aware, to understand

Original Word: συνεῖδον
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: suneidon
Pronunciation: soo-NAY-don
Phonetic Spelling: (soon-i'-do)
Definition: To perceive, to be aware, to understand
Meaning: I know, consider, am privy to.

Word Origin: From the combination of σύν (syn, "with") and εἶδον (eidon, "to see" or "to know")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "suneidon," the concept of understanding or perceiving is often expressed in Hebrew by words like בִּין (bin, Strong's H995) meaning "to discern" or "to understand."

Usage: The Greek verb "suneidon" conveys the idea of perceiving or being aware of something, often with an implication of understanding or internal acknowledgment. It suggests a deeper level of insight or consciousness, beyond mere observation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe an awareness that comes from a combination of seeing and understanding, often in a moral or spiritual context.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of knowledge and perception was highly valued, often associated with wisdom and moral insight. The verb "suneidon" reflects a holistic understanding that integrates sensory perception with intellectual and moral comprehension. This aligns with the biblical emphasis on not just seeing with the eyes but understanding with the heart and mind, a theme prevalent in both Jewish and early Christian thought.
