Meaning: To consider, to think over, to ponder, or to reflect upon. Word Origin: Derived from ἀνά (ana, "up" or "again") and λογίζομαι (logizomai, "to reckon" or "to consider"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναλογίζομαι, similar concepts of meditation and reflection can be found in Hebrew words such as הָגָה (H1897, hagah • to meditate, to ponder) and שִׂיחַ (H7878, siach • to muse, to meditate). These terms reflect the biblical practice of thoughtful contemplation on God's law and deeds. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of careful consideration or reflection, often in the context of contemplating spiritual truths or the experiences of others. Context: The Greek verb ἀναλογίζομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize thoughtful reflection and consideration. It is a compound word that combines the preposition ἀνά, meaning "up" or "again," with the verb λογίζομαι, which means "to reckon" or "to consider." This construction suggests a process of thinking that involves revisiting or thoroughly examining a matter. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀναλογίζομαι is found in Hebrews 12:3: "Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Here, the term is used to encourage believers to reflect deeply on the endurance and suffering of Jesus Christ. The purpose of this reflection is to inspire perseverance and prevent discouragement in the face of trials. The use of ἀναλογίζομαι in this passage underscores the importance of meditative reflection on the life and example of Christ as a source of spiritual strength. It invites believers to engage in a deliberate and thoughtful process of considering the implications of Christ's endurance for their own lives. The concept of ἀναλογίζομαι aligns with the broader biblical theme of meditation and reflection on God's works and words. It encourages a mindset that is attentive and contemplative, fostering spiritual growth and resilience.
