Strong's Lexicon apantaó: To meet, to encounter Original Word: ἀπαντάω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: apantaó Pronunciation: ah-pan-TAH-oh Phonetic Spelling: (ap-an-tah'-o) Definition: To meet, to encounter Meaning: I go to meet, meet, encounter. Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and the verb ἀντάω (antaō, meaning "to meet" or "to encounter"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπαντάω, the concept of meeting or encountering is present in Hebrew through words like פָּגַשׁ (pagash, Strong's H6293) and קָרָא (qara, Strong's H7121), which also convey the idea of meeting or encountering. Usage: The Greek verb ἀπαντάω (apantaó) is used to describe the act of meeting or encountering someone, often with the implication of going out to meet them. It can refer to both physical meetings and metaphorical encounters. In the New Testament, it is used to describe significant meetings, such as those with Jesus or other key figures. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, meeting someone often involved formalities and was an important social interaction. The act of going out to meet someone could signify respect, anticipation, or the importance of the encounter. This cultural context adds depth to the biblical narratives where ἀπαντάω is used, highlighting the significance of the meetings described.
