symballō συμβάλλω symballō

To THROW TOGETHER — to compare, to put side by side, to work out; also to confer with someone, and to meet. It is the verb behind the word SYMBOL. ⚠ At Luke 2:19 Mary keeps all these things, symballousa them in her heart. 'Pondered' and 'treasured' are not wrong and are softer than the Greek: the picture is somebody holding several pieces of information that do not yet fit and setting them next to each other to see what they make. → first discussed at Luke 2:19
