Key Hebrew terms related to intercession include "פָּגַע" (paga, Strong's H6293), meaning "to meet" or "to intercede," and "תְּפִלָּה" (tefillah, Strong's H8605), meaning "prayer."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb "huperentugchanó" is used in the New Testament to describe a form of intercession that is profound and intense. It conveys the idea of someone intervening or pleading on behalf of another with great earnestness and depth. This term is often associated with the work of the Holy Spirit, who intercedes for believers with groanings too deep for words.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, intercession was a common practice, often involving a mediator who would plead the case of another before a person of higher authority. In the Jewish tradition, intercession was a significant aspect of the priestly role, where priests would intercede on behalf of the people before God. The concept of divine intercession in the New Testament builds upon these cultural understandings, emphasizing the unique role of the Holy Spirit and Christ as intercessors for believers.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5241</b> <i>hyperentyg<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ánō</i> (from <a href="/greek/5228.htm">5228</a> <i>/hypér</i>, "for <i>benefit</i>" and 1793<i>/entyg<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>anō</i>, "come in line with") – properly, <i>to light upon</i> (<i>happen</i>); literally, "<i>bending over</i>" to <i>intercede</i>, "<i>confer benefit</i>" (cf. <i>R</i>, 629). <a href="/greek/5241.htm">5241</a> (<i>hyperentygxánō</i>) is used only in Ro 8:26.</p><p class="discovery">5241<i>/hyperentyg<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ánō</i> ("intercede") refers to the Holy Spirit interceding in <i>every</i> scene of our lives so we can "come in line with" the Lord's <i>eternal purpose</i>.
