Strong's Lexicon dialogizomai: To reason, to consider, to debate, to ponder Original Word: διαλογίζομαι Word Origin: From διά (dia, "through, by") and λογίζομαι (logizomai, "to reason, to consider") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves words like חשב (chashab, "to think, to plan") and שיח (siach, "to meditate, to ponder"). Usage: The Greek verb διαλογίζομαι (dialogizomai) primarily means to engage in reasoning or deliberation. It involves a process of thought, often reflecting an internal debate or consideration of various possibilities. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both positive and negative forms of reasoning, including thoughtful reflection and skeptical questioning. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, reasoning and debate were highly valued as part of philosophical inquiry and rhetoric. The ability to engage in dialogue and consider different viewpoints was seen as a mark of wisdom and intellectual maturity. In the Jewish context, reasoning was also important, particularly in the interpretation of the Law and the Prophets. Dialogizomai reflects this cultural emphasis on thoughtful consideration and the weighing of ideas. HELPS Word-studies 1260 dialogízomai (from 1223 /diá, "thoroughly," which intensifies 3049 /logízomai, "reckon, add up") – properly, go back-and-forth when evaluating, in a way that typically leads to a confused conclusion.
