Berean Strong's Lexicon sunerchomai: To come together, to assemble, to gather Original Word: συνέρχομαι Word Origin: From σύν (G4862) meaning "together" and ἔρχομαι (G2064) meaning "to come" or "to go." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunerchomai," the concept of gathering or assembling is present in Hebrew words such as קָהַל (qahal - H6950) meaning "to assemble" or "to gather." Usage: The Greek verb "sunerchomai" primarily means to come together or to assemble. It is used in the New Testament to describe the gathering of people, whether for social, religious, or communal purposes. The term can imply a physical gathering in one place or a coming together in purpose or agreement. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the early Christian church, "sunerchomai" often referred to the gathering of believers for worship, teaching, and fellowship. These gatherings were crucial for the early Christians, who faced persecution and needed the support and encouragement of the community. The concept of coming together was not only about physical presence but also about unity in faith and purpose.
