Strong's Lexicon logeia: Collection, Contribution Original Word: λογεία Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word λόγος (logos), meaning "word" or "account." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "logeia," the concept of collection or offering can be related to Hebrew terms such as תְּרוּמָה (terumah, Strong's H8641) meaning "offering" or "contribution," and צְדָקָה (tzedakah, Strong's H6666) meaning "righteousness" or "charity." Usage: The term "logeia" refers to a collection or contribution, particularly in the context of gathering funds or resources for a specific purpose. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of collecting money for the support of the church or aid to fellow believers. Cultural and Historical Background: In the early Christian church, collections were often taken to support the needs of the community, especially for the poor and for the church in Jerusalem, which faced significant hardships. The practice of taking collections was rooted in the Jewish tradition of almsgiving and was an expression of communal solidarity and support among believers. The Apostle Paul organized collections among the Gentile churches to aid the Jerusalem church, emphasizing the unity and mutual care within the body of Christ.
