Strong's Lexicon metechó: To partake, share, participate Original Word: μετέχω Word Origin: From the Greek words "meta" (with, after) and "echo" (to have, hold). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "metechó," the concept of sharing or partaking can be related to Hebrew words like "חָלַק" (chalak - to divide, share) and "שָׁתַף" (shataph - to share, participate). Usage: The verb "metechó" is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of sharing in or partaking of something. It implies a close association or participation in an experience, condition, or relationship. This term often denotes a spiritual or communal sharing, such as partaking in the benefits of Christ's sacrifice or sharing in the sufferings of others. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of sharing or partaking was significant in both religious and social contexts. Participation in communal meals, religious rites, and civic duties was a vital part of community life. In the early Christian context, "metechó" would have resonated with the communal aspects of the faith, such as the Lord's Supper and the sharing of resources among believers.
