Strong's Lexicon sunodia: Company, caravan, journey Original Word: συνοδία Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and ὁδός (hodos, "way" or "road") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunodia," the concept of traveling in groups can be related to terms like "מַסָּע" (massa, "journey") or "חֶבֶר" (cheber, "company" or "association"). Usage: The term "sunodia" refers to a group of travelers or a caravan journeying together. It implies a collective movement along a path or road, often for the purpose of safety, companionship, or shared mission. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a group traveling together, highlighting the communal aspect of the journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, travel was often perilous due to the threat of bandits, wild animals, and harsh environmental conditions. As a result, people frequently traveled in groups or caravans for protection and support. These groups, or "sunodia," would share resources, provide mutual aid, and offer companionship during long and arduous journeys. This practice was common in the Roman Empire, where roads connected various regions, facilitating trade and communication.
