It implies a sense of fellowship and communal participation, often used in contexts where eating together signifies unity or shared beliefs.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman cultures, sharing a meal was a significant social activity that went beyond mere sustenance. It was a time for fellowship, discussion, and the strengthening of social bonds. In Jewish culture, eating together also had religious implications, as it often involved adherence to dietary laws and customs. In the early Christian community, shared meals, including the Lord's Supper, were central to communal worship and fellowship.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/2068.htm">esthió</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to eat with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ate (2), eat (2), eats (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 4906: συμφάγω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συμφάγω</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">συνεσθίω</span></span>. <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4906: συνεσθίω</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συνεσθίω</span></span>; imperfect <span class="greek2">συνήσθιον</span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">συνέφαγον</span>; <span class="accented">to eat with, take food together with</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">σύν</span></span>, II. 1): <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, with one, <a href="/interlinear/luke/15-2.htm">Luke 15:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-41.htm">Acts 10:41</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/11-3.htm">Acts 11:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/5-11.htm">1 Corinthians 5:11</a> (<a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/12-17.htm">2 Samuel 12:17</a>); <span class="greek2">μετά</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/galatians/2-12.htm">Galatians 2:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/43-31.htm">Genesis 43:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/exodus/18-12.htm">Exodus 18:12</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 52, 4, 15).
