Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunalizō," the concept of gathering is prevalent in the Old Testament, often represented by words like "קָהַל" (qahal, Strong's H6950) meaning "to assemble" or "to gather." Usage: The verb "sunalizō" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of gathering or assembling together. It implies a coming together for a specific purpose or event. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the gathering of people, particularly in a communal or instructional setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, gatherings were a common part of social and religious life. People would assemble for various purposes, including worship, teaching, and communal meals. The early Christian community also placed a strong emphasis on gathering together for fellowship, prayer, and the breaking of bread, as seen in the book of Acts. Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4871: συναλίζω συναλίζω: (σύν, and ἁλίζω from ἁλής, crowded, in a mass; (cf. ἅλυσις, at the beginning)); to gather together; assemble; passive present participle συναλιζόμενος; to be assembled, meet with: τίνι, with one, Acts 1:4, where αὐτοῖς is to be supplied. (Herodotus, Xenophon, (Plutarch, de placit. phil. 902), Josephus, Lucian, Jamblichus.) (Bat Meyer defends the rendering given by some of the ancient versions (cf. Tdf.s note at the passage) eating with (deriving the word from συναλος), so A. V. and R. V. marginal reading; such passages as Manetho 5, 339; Clement, hom. 13, 4 (although Dressel after manuscript Ottob. reads here συναυλίζω — yet the recogn. 7, 29 renderscibum sumimus); Chrysostom 3:88 c. (edited by Migne 3:1:104 middle); 89 a. (ibid. bottom); 91 d. (ibid. 107 middle), seem to give warrant for this interpretation; cf. Valckenaer, Opuscc. ii, p. 277f. But see at length Woolsey in the Bib. Sacr. for Oct. 1882, pp. 605-618.)
