Strong's Lexicon deipneó: To dine, to eat a meal, to sup Original Word: δειπνέω Word Origin: From the noun δεῖπνον (deipnon), meaning "supper" or "dinner." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "deipneó," the concept of dining and fellowship can be related to Hebrew terms like "אָכַל" (akal - to eat) and "סְעוּדָה" (se'udah - feast, meal). Usage: The verb "deipneó" primarily refers to the act of dining or partaking in a main meal, typically in the evening. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of eating a meal, often with others, and can imply fellowship and communion. The term is used both literally and metaphorically to convey deeper spiritual truths, such as fellowship with Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the main meal of the day was often taken in the evening and was a significant social event. It was a time for family and friends to gather, share food, and engage in conversation. Meals were not just about sustenance but were also occasions for building relationships and community. In Jewish culture, meals had religious significance, often involving rituals and blessings. The concept of dining together was deeply embedded in the social and religious fabric of the time.
