Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and ἵημι (hiēmi, "to send" or "to put") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 995: בִּין (bin) • to discern, understand • Strong's Hebrew 7922: שֵׂכֶל (sekel) • insight, understanding • Strong's Hebrew 3045: יָדַע (yada) • to know, perceive, understand These Hebrew terms reflect similar concepts of understanding and discernment, often used in the Old Testament to describe wisdom and insight granted by God. The connection between these Hebrew words and the Greek συνίημι highlights the continuity of the biblical theme of divine understanding across both Testaments. Usage: The verb συνίημι is used in the New Testament to denote the act of understanding or comprehending something, often in a spiritual or intellectual sense. It is frequently used in contexts where understanding is granted or withheld, particularly in relation to parables or teachings of Jesus. Context: The Greek verb συνίημι appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of understanding spiritual truths or teachings. It is often used in the Gospels when Jesus speaks in parables, highlighting the distinction between those who are given the ability to understand and those who are not. For example, in Matthew 13:13, Jesus explains, "This is why I speak to them in parables: 'Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.'" Here, συνίημι underscores the deeper spiritual insight that is required to grasp the truths of the Kingdom of Heaven. In Mark 8:17, Jesus questions His disciples, "Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?" This usage emphasizes the disciples' struggle to comprehend Jesus' identity and mission despite witnessing His miracles. The verb is also used in Acts 7:25, where it describes Moses' expectation that his fellow Israelites would understand that God was using him to deliver them, yet they did not. The concept of understanding in the biblical sense often involves more than intellectual assent; it implies a deeper, spiritual insight that leads to transformation and action. In Ephesians 5:17, Paul exhorts believers, "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is." Here, συνίημι is linked to discerning and living according to God's will.
