Strong's Lexicon sumphónos: Agreeing, harmonious, in accord Original Word: σύμφωνος Word Origin: Derived from σύν (syn, "together") and φωνή (phōnē, "sound" or "voice") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sumphónos," the concept of agreement and harmony can be related to Hebrew words like יַחַד (yachad, Strong's 3162), meaning "together" or "united." Usage: The Greek word "sumphónos" conveys the idea of being in agreement or harmony. It is used to describe a state where different elements or individuals are in accord, producing a unified or harmonious outcome. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the agreement between individuals or within a community, particularly in matters of faith and practice. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, harmony and agreement were highly valued in both philosophical and practical contexts. The concept of "sumphónos" would have resonated with early Christian communities as they sought to live in unity amidst diverse backgrounds and beliefs. The term also reflects the musical metaphor of different notes coming together to create a pleasing sound, which would have been a familiar concept in a culture that appreciated music and the arts.
