In ancient times, it was customary to recline at a table during meals, especially during formal banquets or significant gatherings. This posture was a sign of relaxation and fellowship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, and particularly in Jewish culture during the time of Jesus, meals were often eaten in a reclining position. This practice was common during the Passover meal, where participants would recline on couches around a low table. Reclining at a meal was a symbol of freedom and rest, contrasting with the posture of slaves who would stand to serve.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/303.htm">ana</a> and <a href="/greek/4098.htm">piptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to fall back<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>leaned back (1), leaning back (1), recline (1), reclined (3), sat down (2), sit down (4).<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 377: ἀναπίπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀναπίπτω</span></span>: 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀνέπεσον</span>, 3 person plural <span class="greek2">ἀνέπεσον</span> <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-40.htm">Mark 6:40</a> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἀνέπεσαν</span>); <a href="/interlinear/john/6-10.htm">John 6:10</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἀνέπεσαν</span>), infinitive <span class="greek2">ἀναπεσεῖν</span>, imperative <span class="greek2">ἀνάπεσε</span> <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-10.htm">Luke 14:10</a> (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">ἀνάπεσον</span> from 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀνέπεσα</span> ((Griesbach <span class="greek2">ἀνάπεσαι</span> i. e. 1 aorist middle imperative))); <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-7.htm">Luke 17:7</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="greek2">ἀνάπεσαι</span>, cf. <span class="manuref">WH</span>.
