Strong's Lexicon trapeza: Table Original Word: τράπεζα Word Origin: From a presumed derivative of τετράς (tetrás, meaning "four"), referring to the four legs of a table. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a table is שֻׁלְחָן (shulchan), Strong's Hebrew 7979, which also denotes a table or a place of feasting and fellowship. Usage: The Greek word "trapeza" primarily refers to a table, often used for dining or serving food. In the New Testament, it can also imply a place of fellowship, communion, or even a metaphorical table, such as a place of provision or abundance. Additionally, "trapeza" can refer to a money-changer's table, indicating a place of financial transactions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek and Jewish culture, the table was a central element of daily life, symbolizing hospitality, fellowship, and community. Meals were significant social events, often involving extended family and guests. The table was also a place where important discussions and decisions were made. In the context of the early church, the table took on additional significance as believers gathered for the Lord's Supper, commemorating Jesus' Last Supper with His disciples.
