Strong's Lexicon epathroizó: To gather together, to assemble Original Word: ἐπαθροίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: epathroizó Pronunciation: ep-ath-roy'-zo Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ath-roid'-zo) Definition: I gather together, pass: I crowd upon (some one), press around. Meaning: To gather together, to assemble in a group, to collect or accumulate. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ἀθροίζω (athroízō, meaning "to gather" or "to assemble"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπαθροίζω, similar concepts of gathering and assembling can be found in Hebrew words such as קָבַץ (qabats, Strong's H6908) and אָסַף (asaph, Strong's H622), both of which convey the idea of collecting or gathering together. These Hebrew terms are used throughout the Old Testament to describe the gathering of people, nations, or resources, often in the context of divine action or command. Usage: The verb ἐπαθροίζω is used in the context of gathering or assembling people or things together. It implies a purposeful or intentional act of bringing together. Context: The Greek verb ἐπαθροίζω appears in the New Testament in contexts where gathering or assembling is emphasized. This term is often used to describe the act of bringing people together for a specific purpose, such as a meeting or assembly. The prefix ἐπί (epi) adds a sense of intensity or focus to the action of gathering, suggesting not just a casual assembly but a deliberate and organized collection. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐπαθροίζω is translated in a way that reflects its meaning of purposeful gathering. The term can be found in contexts where the gathering is either physical, such as assembling a crowd, or metaphorical, such as accumulating resources or information. The use of ἐπαθροίζω in the New Testament underscores the importance of community and collective action in the early Christian church. It reflects the communal nature of the faith, where believers are encouraged to come together for worship, teaching, and mutual support. This gathering is not merely for social purposes but is often directed towards spiritual growth and the fulfillment of God's purposes.
