Strong's Lexicon sugkathémai: To sit together, to sit with Original Word: συγκαθέμαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix σύν (syn, meaning "with" or "together") and καθέμαι (kathémai, meaning "to sit"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συγκαθέμαι, the concept of sitting together in fellowship can be related to Hebrew terms like יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's H3427), which means "to sit" or "to dwell," often used in contexts of community and shared life. Usage: The verb συγκαθέμαι (sugkathémai) is used to describe the act of sitting together with others, often implying a sense of fellowship, association, or shared purpose. In the New Testament, it can denote physical proximity as well as social or relational closeness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, sitting together was a sign of fellowship and acceptance. Meals, discussions, and gatherings often involved sitting together, symbolizing unity and shared life. In Jewish culture, sitting with someone could also imply agreement or participation in their actions or beliefs. Thus, the act of sitting together carried significant social and relational implications.
