It conveys the idea of something occurring often or being closely packed together.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of density or frequency was often associated with strength and reliability. A dense forest, for example, would be seen as impenetrable and strong. Similarly, frequent occurrences or actions were considered reliable and steadfast. In the biblical context, this term can be used metaphorically to describe the steadfastness or reliability of certain actions or characteristics.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/4435.htm">pugmé</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>close, i.e. frequent<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>frequent (1), often (1), quite often (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 4437: πυκνός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πυκνός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πυκνη</span>, <span class="greek2">πυκνόν</span> (<span class="greek2">ΠΥΚΩ</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πυγμή</span></span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, <span class="accented">thick, dense, compact</span>; in reference to time, <span class="accented">frequent, often recurring</span> (so in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> down), <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-23.htm">1 Timothy 5:23</a>; neuter plural <span class="greek2">πυκνά</span>, as adverb (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 463 (432); <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 128, 2), <span class="accented">vigorously, diligently</span> (?(cf.
