It conveys the idea of approaching or appealing to someone in authority, often with a sense of urgency or earnestness. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of intercession, particularly in a spiritual or prayerful context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, intercession was a common practice, often involving a mediator who would appeal to a higher authority on behalf of another. This concept was familiar in both civic and religious contexts. In the Jewish tradition, intercession was a significant aspect of the priestly role, where priests would intercede for the people before God. The New Testament writers, particularly Paul, adopt this concept to describe the intercessory work of Christ and the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1793</b> <i>entygxánō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i>, "in," which intensifies <a href="/greek/5177.htm">5177</a> <i>/tygxánō</i>, "to obtain by hitting the mark") – properly, "light upon (meet with), obtain" (<i>LS</i>); "to go and meet a person to converse, consult," i.e. to <i>intervene</i> ("intersect with").</p><p class="discovery">[J.
