Strong's Lexicon proseggizó: To approach, to draw near Original Word: προσεγγίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: proseggizó Pronunciation: pros-eng-GID-zo Phonetic Spelling: (pros-eng-ghid'-zo) Definition: To approach, to draw near Meaning: I approach, come near to. Word Origin: From πρός (pros, meaning "toward") and ἐγγίζω (engizó, meaning "to approach" or "to draw near") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7126 קָרַב (qarab) - to come near, approach - H5066 נָגַשׁ (nagash) - to draw near, approach Usage: The verb "proseggizó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of coming near or approaching someone or something. It often conveys a sense of intentionality and purpose in the act of drawing near, whether physically, spiritually, or relationally. This term is used to describe both literal and metaphorical approaches, such as coming near to God or approaching a person. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, approaching someone, especially a person of higher status, required a certain decorum and respect. The act of drawing near was not just physical but also carried relational and social implications. In Jewish culture, drawing near to God was a central theme, especially in the context of worship and the temple. The concept of approaching God with reverence and humility is deeply rooted in the Old Testament and is carried into the New Testament understanding of relationship with God through Christ.
