Strong's Lexicon sugkuptó: To bend together, to be bent over, to stoop. Original Word: συγκύπτω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: sugkuptó Pronunciation: soong-KOOP-to Phonetic Spelling: (soong-koop'-to) Definition: I am bowed together, bent double. Meaning: To bend together, to be bent over, to stoop. Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with, together") and κύπτω (kyptō, "to bend, to stoop") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγκύπτω, similar concepts of being bent or bowed down can be found in Hebrew words such as כָּפַף (kaphaph, Strong's Hebrew 3721), which means "to bend, to bow down," and שָׁחַח (shachach, Strong's Hebrew 7817), meaning "to bow down, to be bowed down." These terms are often used in the Old Testament to describe physical postures of humility, distress, or subjugation, and they can carry both literal and metaphorical connotations. Usage: The term συγκύπτω is used in the New Testament to describe a physical condition of being bent over or stooped, often implying a state of affliction or infirmity. Context: The Greek verb συγκύπτω appears in the New Testament in the context of describing a physical ailment. It is notably used in Luke 13:11, where it describes a woman who had been afflicted by a disabling spirit for eighteen years, causing her to be bent over and unable to straighten up. This condition is depicted as a form of bondage, from which Jesus delivers her, demonstrating His authority over physical and spiritual ailments. The use of συγκύπτω in this passage highlights the compassion of Jesus and His power to heal and restore. The narrative emphasizes the transformative impact of Jesus' ministry, as He not only addresses physical infirmities but also liberates individuals from spiritual oppression. In a broader theological context, the act of being "bent over" can symbolize the burdens and afflictions that weigh down humanity, both physically and spiritually. The healing of the woman in Luke 13 serves as a metaphor for the redemptive work of Christ, who lifts the burdens of sin and restores individuals to wholeness.
