Strong's Lexicon parabiazomai: To compel, to urge strongly, to press Original Word: παραβιάζομαι Word Origin: From the preposition παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "beyond") and the verb βιάζομαι (biazomai, meaning "to force" or "to compel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραβιάζομαι, the concept of urging or compelling can be seen in Hebrew words like פָּצַר (patsar), which means to press or urge. Usage: The verb παραβιάζομαι (parabiazomai) is used to describe a strong urging or compelling action, often implying a sense of insistence or persuasion. It conveys the idea of pressing someone to do something, sometimes against their initial reluctance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, hospitality was a highly valued virtue, and hosts often felt a strong obligation to persuade guests to accept their hospitality. This cultural context helps illuminate the use of παραβιάζομαι in the New Testament, where it often appears in situations involving hospitality or urgent requests.
