SIBI-P1 G4796-05
they were rejoicing together
| Root | συγχαίρω (synchairō) |
| Core Meanings | rejoice with, share joy, take gladness together, congratulate |
| Semantic Range | to rejoice with someone, to share in another’s joy, to congratulate, to express communal gladness, to participate in celebration |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb highlights communal participation in joy, reflecting the relational and covenantal nature of biblical faith where rejoicing is not isolated but shared within the community of God’s people. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IIA3,,P,). The imperfect indicates continuous or progressive past action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb συγχαίρω combines σύν ("with, together") and χαίρω ("to rejoice"), conveying shared or mutual gladness. The imperfect active indicative, third person plural, denotes an ongoing or repeated action in past time, hence "they were rejoicing," while "together" preserves the force of the σύν prefix. |
