Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τυγχάνω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey obtaining or experiencing, such as: • Strong's Hebrew 4672 (מָצָא, matsa): To find, to attain, to secure • Strong's Hebrew 6293 (פָּגַע, paga): To meet, to encounter, to entreat These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of encountering or obtaining, often with an element of divine involvement or purpose, paralleling the usage of τυγχάνω in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The verb τυγχάνω is used in various contexts in the New Testament to convey the idea of obtaining or experiencing something, often with a sense of chance or divine providence. It can imply reaching a goal or receiving something as a result of effort or circumstance. Context: The Greek verb τυγχάνω appears in several New Testament passages, each illustrating different nuances of its meaning. It is often used to describe the act of obtaining or receiving something, whether through effort, chance, or divine intervention. The term can also imply an encounter or experience that occurs as part of God's providential plan. In Acts 24:2, the term is used in a legal context where Tertullus, the orator, speaks of the peace and reforms obtained under Felix's governance: "We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation." In 1 Corinthians 14:10, Paul uses τυγχάνω to describe the diversity of languages: "Undoubtedly, there are many different languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning." Hebrews 8:6 employs the term to highlight the superiority of Christ's ministry: "But now, Jesus has received a more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises." The verb is also found in Romans 11:7, where Paul discusses the concept of election and the remnant of Israel: "What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened." These examples demonstrate the versatility of τυγχάνω in conveying the idea of obtaining or experiencing something significant, often with an underlying sense of divine orchestration or purpose.
