Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb κλίνω (klinó, meaning "to lean" or "to recline"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνακλίνω, the concept of reclining at meals can be related to the Hebrew practice of sitting or lying down during meals, as seen in various Old Testament passages describing feasts and banquets. Usage: The verb ἀνακλίνω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of reclining, particularly at a meal. In the cultural context of the time, it was customary to recline on couches during meals, especially during formal banquets or significant gatherings. This posture was a sign of relaxation and fellowship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, reclining at meals was a common practice among the free and wealthy. It symbolized leisure and the enjoyment of a meal in the company of others. This practice is often depicted in the context of the Last Supper and other significant meals in the New Testament, reflecting the intimate and communal nature of these gatherings.
