SIBI-P1 G4796-05

they were rejoicing together

Rootσυγχαίρω (synchairō)
Core Meaningsrejoice with, share joy, take gladness together, congratulate
Semantic Rangeto rejoice with someone, to share in another’s joy, to congratulate, to express communal gladness, to participate in celebration
Conceptual SignificanceThis 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 NotesVerb; imperfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural (Gr,V,IIA3,,P,). The imperfect indicates continuous or progressive past action.
Rendering RationaleThe 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.
