This Hebrew term is often used in contexts of companionship and alliance.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb "harmozó" primarily means to join or fit together, often used in the context of arranging or preparing something to be in harmony or unity. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of betrothing or engaging in marriage, indicating a union or covenant relationship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "harmozó" was significant in the context of marriage and family. Betrothal was a formal agreement that preceded marriage, often involving legal and social arrangements. This term reflects the importance of unity and harmony in relationships, both in familial and communal settings. The idea of fitting together also extended to philosophical and architectural contexts, where harmony and order were highly valued.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/719.htm">harmos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to fit, join, hence to join oneself to (in marriage)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>betrothed (1), suffer (1), treated (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 718: ἁρμόζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἁρμόζω</span></span>, Attic <span class="greek2">ἁρμόττω</span>: 1 aorist middle <span class="greek2">ἡρμοσάμην</span>;
