Strong's Lexicon paralambanó: To take, to receive, to take along, to accept Original Word: παραλαμβάνω Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "from beside" or "alongside") and λαμβάνω (lambanó, meaning "to take" or "to receive") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the concept of receiving or taking can be related to Hebrew words like לָקַח (laqach, Strong's H3947), which means "to take" or "to receive." Usage: The verb παραλαμβάνω (paralambanó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of taking or receiving something or someone, often with the implication of taking along or accompanying. It can denote a physical taking, such as taking someone with you, or a more abstract receiving, such as accepting teachings or traditions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of taking or receiving was often associated with hospitality, mentorship, and the transmission of teachings or traditions. The act of taking someone along could imply a relationship of guidance or protection, while receiving teachings was a key aspect of discipleship and learning.
