It implies a systematic or deliberate action of recording names or details, typically for a specific purpose such as a census, registry, or membership.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Roman societies, the act of enrolling or listing individuals was a common practice for various administrative purposes, including taxation, military service, and civic duties. Such lists were essential for maintaining order and organization within the community. In the context of the early Christian church, similar practices were adopted for organizing and managing the growing number of believers, ensuring that the needs of the community were met, and that individuals were accounted for in the life of the church.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/3004.htm">legó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lay down, choose out<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>put on the list (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 2639: καταλέγω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταλέγω</span></span>: present passive imperative <span class="greek2">καταλεγέσθω</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> properly, <span class="accented">to lay down</span>; middle <span class="accented">to lie down</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to narrate at length, recount, set forth</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> on). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">to set down in a list or register, to enroll</span> (especially soldiers; see <span class="abbreviation">Passow</span>, under the word, 5; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, II. 2 (yet the latter connect this use with the meaning of <span class="accented">to choose</span>))): of those widows who held a prominent place in the church and exercised a certain superintendence over the rest of the women, and had charge of the widows and orphans supported at public expense, <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/5-9.htm">1 Timothy 5:9</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 590 (549)); cf.
