Near synonyms 1 word

συνάγω synágō · G4863 · to gather together, to call together, to store: συνάγω means 'to gather together' or 'assemble,' and when used with people as subjects or in the middle/passive voice, it can overlap with συντρέχω's sense of 'assembling hastily.' The distinction is that συνάγω focuses on the gathering action itself, while συντρέχω emphasizes the rapid, rushing manner of coming together.

רוּץ rûwts · H7323 · to run, to hurry, to race: רוּץ (rûṣ) is the standard Hebrew verb for 'to run,' and can convey both literal running and figurative hastening. While it lacks the prefix συν- compound element, it is the natural Hebrew equivalent when translating the 'run/rush' core of συντρέχω, particularly in contexts of hastening or assembling quickly.
קָבַץ qâbats · H6908 · to come together, to gather, to assemble: קָבַץ (qāḇaṣ) means 'to gather' or 'assemble,' often used for people coming together. When συντρέχω emphasizes the 'assemble quickly/rush together' sense (Louw-Nida 15.133), קָבַץ captures the assembly aspect as a functional cross-linguistic equivalent, though קָבַץ does not inherently carry the velocity/haste nuance.
