Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between "syntomos" and a specific Hebrew word, the concept of brevity or conciseness can be found in Hebrew terms such as קָצַר (qatsar, Strong's Hebrew 7114), which means "to be short" or "to shorten." This reflects a similar thematic element of brevity in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The word "syntomos" is used in the New Testament to describe something that is brief or concise. It appears in contexts where brevity or a shortened form is emphasized. Context: The Greek word "σύντομος" (syntomos) appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize brevity or conciseness. In Romans 9:28, the Apostle Paul uses the term to describe the Lord's work on earth: "For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively." Here, "syntomos" is translated as "thoroughly and decisively," indicating a swift and conclusive action. This usage underscores the efficiency and finality of God's judgment, reflecting a theme of divine sovereignty and purpose. The concept of brevity in "syntomos" can also be understood in the broader biblical narrative as a reflection of the transient nature of human life and the urgency of divine action. The term invites readers to consider the importance of God's timely interventions and the need for human responsiveness to divine commands. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, "syntomos" is used to translate Hebrew terms that convey similar meanings of brevity or conciseness, further illustrating its thematic consistency across the biblical texts.
