Strong's Lexicon suniémi: To understand, to comprehend, to perceive Original Word: συνίημι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: suniémi Pronunciation: soo-nee'-ay-mee Phonetic Spelling: (soon-ee'-ay-mee) Definition: To understand, to comprehend, to perceive Meaning: I consider, understand, perceive. Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and ἵημι (hiemi, "to send" or "to put") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H995 (בִּין, bin): To discern, to understand - H7919 (שָׂכַל, sakal): To be prudent, to have insight Usage: The Greek verb "suniémi" primarily means to bring together in the mind, to comprehend or to understand. It implies a synthesis of information, where various pieces of knowledge or insight are combined to form a coherent understanding. In the New Testament, it often refers to spiritual or moral understanding, particularly in the context of grasping the teachings of Jesus or the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, understanding was highly valued, often associated with wisdom and the ability to discern truth. The concept of "suniémi" would have resonated with both Jewish and Greek audiences, as it aligns with the Jewish emphasis on wisdom (as seen in the Proverbs) and the Greek philosophical tradition that prized knowledge and understanding. In the context of the New Testament, understanding is not merely intellectual but is deeply connected to spiritual insight and the ability to perceive God's will. HELPS Word-studies 4920 syníēmi (from 4862 /sýn, "together with" and hiēmi, "put, send") – properly, put together, i.e. join facts (ideas) into a comprehensive (inter-locking) whole; synthesize. 4920 /syníēmi ("put facts together") means to arrive at a summary or final understanding (complete with life-applications). Accordingly, 4920 (syníēmi) is closely connected with discerning and doing "the preferred-will of God" (2307 /thélēma). Eph 5:17: "So then do not be foolish (878 /áphrōn), but understand (4920 /syníēmi) what the preferred-will (2307 /thélēma) of the Lord is (2307 /thélēma)."
