It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of pondering or considering something deeply, often in a reflective or meditative manner. It can also refer to the act of conferring or discussing with others, as well as encountering or meeting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the act of "sumballó" was often associated with philosophical discourse and the exchange of ideas. It was a common practice in Greek society to gather and discuss various topics, reflecting a culture that valued wisdom and understanding. In the context of the New Testament, this term takes on a spiritual dimension, emphasizing the importance of reflection and discernment in the life of a believer.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/906.htm">balló</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to throw together, hence to discuss, consider, meet with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>confer (1), conversing (1), helped (1), meet (1), met (1), pondering (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 4820: συμβάλλω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συμβάλλω</span></span> (<span class="greek2">συνβάλλω</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (so <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> except <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-31.htm">Luke 14:31</a>); cf. <span class="greek2">Σιν</span>, II. at the end); imperfect <span class="greek2">συνέβαλλον</span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">συνέβαλον</span>; 2 aorist middle <span class="greek2">συνεβαλομην</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to throw together, to bring together</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="greek2">λόγους</span> (Latin<span class="latin">sermones conferre</span>), to converse, <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Iphig.
