Strong's Lexicon sunthaptó: To bury together, to be buried with Original Word: συνθάπτω Word Origin: From σύν (G4862, meaning "with") and θάπτω (G2290, meaning "to bury") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunthaptó," the concept of burial and being united in death can be related to Hebrew words like קָבַר (qabar, H6912), meaning "to bury." Usage: The verb "sunthaptó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being buried together with someone. It is often used metaphorically to express the spiritual union of believers with Christ in His death and burial, symbolizing the believer's identification with Christ's death and the subsequent newness of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, burial practices were significant, often involving family tombs where individuals were buried together. This cultural context of shared burial underscores the communal and relational aspects of being "buried with" someone. In the early Christian context, baptism was seen as a symbolic act of being buried with Christ, representing the believer's death to sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ.
