Word Origin: From σύν (syn, meaning "together with") and ἵστημι (histemi, meaning "to stand" or "to set up") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunistémi," the concept of commending or proving can be related to Hebrew terms like יָדַע (yada, meaning "to know" or "to make known") and הוֹכִיחַ (hokiach, meaning "to prove" or "to reprove"). Usage: The Greek verb "sunistémi" and its variant "sunistanó" primarily convey the idea of bringing together or establishing something. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of commending or demonstrating, particularly in relation to character or actions. It can also imply the act of proving or showing something to be true or valid. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "commending" or "establishing" was significant in social and legal contexts. Letters of commendation were common, serving as a means to introduce or vouch for someone’s character or credentials. This cultural practice is reflected in the New Testament usage of "sunistémi," where it often pertains to the commendation of individuals or the demonstration of divine truths.
