SIBI-P1 G4863-25
they were gathering together
| Root | συνάγω (synagō) |
| Core Meanings | lead together, gather, assemble, collect, convene, bring together |
| Semantic Range | to gather people or things into one place, to assemble a group, to collect items, to convene a meeting, to bring together socially or religiously |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb underlies the term "synagogue" and reflects the central biblical theme of gathering—whether of people into assembly, disciples around a teacher, or Israel being regathered. It conveys communal identity and purposeful assembling under divine or human initiative. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood; 3rd person plural. The imperfect denotes ongoing or repeated past action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb συνάγω combines σύν (together) and ἄγω (to lead), literally meaning "to lead together." The imperfect active indicative, 3rd person plural, indicates an ongoing or repeated action in past time, hence "they were gathering together," preserving both the collective force of the root and the continuous past aspect. |
