Strong's Lexicon analogizomai: To consider, to think over, to ponder Original Word: ἀναλογίζομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb λογίζομαι (logizomai, meaning "to reckon" or "to consider"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀναλογίζομαι, the concept of meditation and reflection is captured in Hebrew words such as הָגָה (hāgâ, Strong's H1897) meaning "to meditate" or "to ponder." Usage: The verb ἀναλογίζομαι is used to describe the act of careful consideration or deep reflection. It implies a thoughtful and deliberate process of weighing or evaluating something in one's mind. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to reflecting on spiritual truths or the example of Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the practice of reflection and contemplation was highly valued, especially among philosophers and scholars. The concept of considering or pondering was integral to the pursuit of wisdom and understanding. In the Jewish tradition, meditation on the Scriptures and the deeds of God was a key aspect of spiritual life, encouraging believers to internalize and live out their faith.
