It implies a thorough understanding or comprehension that comes from careful observation or study. This term suggests a deeper level of learning or insight, often involving reflection and discernment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, learning and understanding were highly valued, especially in philosophical and rhetorical contexts. The concept of careful observation and deep understanding was essential for philosophers and scholars who sought to comprehend the world and human nature. In the biblical context, this term would resonate with the Jewish tradition of meditation on the Scriptures, where careful study and reflection were seen as pathways to wisdom and spiritual insight.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2648</b> <i>katamanthánō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">2596</a> <i>/katá</i>, "<i>down</i> to a point, exactly according to," which intensifies <a href="/greek/3129.htm">3129</a> <i>/manthánō</i>, "learn") – properly, <i>thoroughly</i> (exactly) learn; to grasp something <i>conclusively</i> by considering it <i>carefully</i> (<i>AS</i>).
