Strong's Lexicon endechomai: To accept, to allow, to admit, to receive Original Word: ἐνδέχομαι Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "within") and the verb δέχομαι (dechomai, meaning "to receive" or "to accept"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνδέχομαι, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like קָבַל (qabal, Strong's H6901), meaning "to receive" or "to accept," and רָצָה (ratsah, Strong's H7521), meaning "to be pleased with" or "to accept." Usage: The verb ἐνδέχομαι is used to convey the idea of accepting or admitting something as possible or permissible. It implies a willingness to consider or receive a concept, idea, or action. In the context of the New Testament, it often relates to the acceptance of truth or the acknowledgment of certain realities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of acceptance was significant in philosophical and rhetorical contexts. Philosophers would often debate what should be accepted as truth or reality. In the Jewish context, acceptance was crucial in terms of receiving the teachings of the Torah and the prophets. The early Christian community also faced challenges regarding what teachings and practices should be accepted as part of the faith.
