Strong's Lexicon asuppah: Gathering, collection, storehouse Original Word: אֲסֻפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַף (asaph), meaning "to gather" or "to collect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of gathering or collection is συναγωγή (synagōgē), Strong's Greek 4864, which also refers to an assembly or gathering place. Usage: The term "asuppah" refers to a place or act of gathering or collecting. It can denote a physical storehouse or collection point, often used in the context of gathering resources or people. The word emphasizes the act of bringing together for a purpose, whether it be for storage, assembly, or communal activity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of gathering was integral to community life. Agricultural societies relied on the collection of crops and resources for survival, and storehouses were essential for managing food supplies. The gathering of people for religious, social, or military purposes was also a common practice. The term "asuppah" reflects these cultural practices, highlighting the importance of unity and preparation in the life of the Israelites.
