Strong's Lexicon sunephistémi: To rise up together, to stand up with Original Word: συνεφίστημι Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and ἐφίστημι (ephistémi, meaning "to stand upon" or "to set upon"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunephistémi," the concept of standing together or rising up collectively can be seen in Hebrew words like קוּם (qum, Strong's H6965), which means "to arise" or "to stand." Usage: The verb "sunephistémi" is used to describe the action of rising up together or standing up with others. It often implies a collective or joint action, where individuals come together for a common purpose or cause. In the New Testament, it can convey the idea of a group uniting in opposition or support. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, collective actions were common, whether in political assemblies, military endeavors, or social gatherings. The concept of standing together was significant in both civic and religious contexts, reflecting unity and shared purpose. In the early Christian community, unity was a vital aspect of their identity, as believers were called to stand together in faith and mission.
