Strong's Lexicon sunómosia: Conspiracy, plot, oath-bound agreement Original Word: συνωμοσία Word Origin: From συνόμνυμι (sunomnumi), meaning "to swear together" or "to conspire." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunómosia," the concept of conspiracy can be found in the Hebrew Bible, such as in the word "קֶשֶׁר" (qesher), Strong's Hebrew 7195, which also means conspiracy or treason. Usage: The term "sunómosia" refers to a secret agreement or conspiracy, often involving an oath or a sworn pact among individuals to achieve a particular, usually illicit, goal. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a plot or scheme, particularly one that is hidden or deceitful. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, conspiracies were not uncommon, especially in political and social contexts. Secret societies and groups often formed to challenge authority or to carry out clandestine activities. The concept of a "sunómosia" would have been understood as a serious and potentially dangerous alliance, often involving a binding oath to ensure loyalty and secrecy among its members.
