It can imply a physical grasp, as well as a metaphorical or spiritual seizing. The term is used in contexts where there is an intervention, assistance, or a decisive action taken.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of taking hold or seizing was often associated with authority and power. The act of grasping could signify control, protection, or support. In the New Testament, this term is used to convey both physical actions and spiritual truths, reflecting the cultural understanding of authority and intervention.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1949</b> <i>epilambánomai</i> (from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">1909</a> <i>/epí</i>, "<i>on</i>, fitting" intensifying <a href="/greek/2983.htm">2983</a> <i>/lambánō</i>, "<i>aggressively</i> take") – properly, lay hold of something, showing <i>personal initiative</i> ("<i>focused</i> resolve") that "matches" the seizing (i.e. laying hold of what is "apt, meet"). </p><p class="discovery"><i>Example</i>: 1 Tim 6:19: "Storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they <i>may take hold of</i> (<a href="/greek/1949.htm">1949</a> <i>/epilambánomai</i>) that which is life indeed" (<i>NASU</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/2983.htm">lambanó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lay hold of<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>catch (2), give help (1), gives help (1), seized (2), take hold (2), taking (1), taking hold (1), took (4), took hold (5).<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 1949: ἐπιλαμβάνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιλαμβάνω</span></span>; 2 aorist middle <span class="greek2">ἐπελαβόμην</span>; <span class="accented">to take in addition</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐπί</span></span>, D. 4), <span class="accented">to take, lay hold of, take possession of, overtake, attain to</span>.
